I have asked a similar question on the Ubuntu pages but this is likely a generic Linux issue: what variety of wireless cards/drivers will support being placed in a bridged connection? I have been using very old Prism II hardware as it worked while I believe more recent cards did not, but the old hardware died, killing the bridge.

I think that youarn't go in the right direction. I would suggest to you to choice on wireless card and then look for its bridge support in the 3.x kernel. Here you want us to give you a list of supported cards, which is hard to get, since there are many manufactures out there, and many cards are with same design and so on. – Hanan N.

Thanks for the comment. My thought was that there are a limited number of chipsets out there - I am not looking for a recommendation on a brand or manufacturer, but on the broad characteristics of the card. – adrianmcmenamin Dec 30 '11 at 0:33
