I paid little less than 30eur for a card with orinoco chipset (2wire). It works fine. Make sure its 16bit, 5 Volts.
OTOH wired LAN card has its advantages over WiFi..

It sure is cheaper, and maybe a bit faster.
I don't know, somehow UTP cable seems more reliable to me, no interference, noise.. etc.
IMHO, wifi is best suited for laptops because of portability.
