I can't speak to  SL specifically, but I have had good luck with the SMC 
SMCWCB-G 802.11g wireless card with Ubuntu 5.10 and 6.06 without having 
to install any extra drivers. It supposedly has an Atheros chipset. The 
driver does not do anything with the LED's on the card, so you can't see 
activity, but it still work. The card doesn't come up during 
installation, but it configures perfectly afterwards. This was a relief 
after trying several other cards, having to use ndiswrapper, etc.

I bought it at MicroCenter, and you could get it via microcenter.com. 
It's $30 with a $10 rebate right now. There are certainly other sources. 
It may be on its way out.
