1. I'm not actually sure of any vendors myslef, but what you can do is look on the source site I linked below, and find a card that has a chipset which is supporeted by NDISwrapper, so that way you can "wrap" a windows driver to work under linux, it might save you some time, money, and hair (from all the stress you'd pull your hair out, if you didnt know what your doing). I would make sure you read the reviews on the drivers, and pick one that has been known to work well, as well as works with the method of encryption your going to use.

   Oh and FYI, I'm running a duel boot system at my home with Win XP Media Center Ed, as well as SuSe 10, the card I use is the WUSB54G from linksys, the card has been known to work with linux under NIDSwrapper, as well as some linux installaions actually have support for the chipset. GL!

3. All of them are compatible, but few seem to have stable drivers.
