Just a quick note that I plugged a WG111v3 into my OpenSuse 11.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 (both x64) and it seemed to just work. However it only seemed to connect to my WPA wireless-not WPA2. Haven't tested it fully so perhaps have a quick look at the hardware support list before buying:

Update: Better fix here http://heratech.net/blog/sham/asus-xonar-dx-ubuntu-better-fix
My new soundcard the Asus Xonar DX is a right pain to get working nicely in Ubuntu 9.10 x64. It was detected right away but whenever I changed the volume it would stutter for a good 5 seconds.
I really should have checked this page more thoroughly: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus
This script seemed to get it working nicely though (so far!) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137&highlight=alsa+update+s...
