Have you looked through the listings here? http://customerproducts.atheros.com/customerproducts/default.asp Also, you failed to mention what your definition of "cheap" is, and what form factor you're looking for (PCI, Cardbus, etc.) I would start with the listings at the link above and look through products from the cheaper-but-popular brands (D-Link, Belkin, Netgear, Linksys) to see if there are any you can currently buy within your price range.
