I guess it depends on how you define mainstream. My definition of
mainstream is I can buy it and not have to ask if it will work on my
chosen OS.

If you are lucky, this step will take zero time to complete.

It should help you understand the basics, but it might be a bit behind
what's actually available. I recommend you download the drivers that
Jerry discusss and use the readme as a guide to what to puchase. If you
already have wireless hardware, the obvious first step is to learn what
you have. Veit's pci.exe will help here. If your hardware is not
currently supported, its time to go the the wireless mailing list and
offer to be guinea pig.
