My Dell Inspiron 640m came with a Broadcom card; my Precision M65 had an Intel 3945 but has a Broadcom now (for other various reasons that are beyond the scope of the CentOS list).

Intel, Broadcom, Ralink and Realtek chips are mostly used only for 
Laptops. Any decent (professional) Wireless router will have Atheros 
based radio. And the are excellent Atheros open source drivers.

 From manufacturers, Winstron and Compex are most respected. This is 
from 7 years of professional experience.
