Anything using Atheros parts should work with the current driver.  The 5212 is 
the MAC of choice; it can do some very useful stuff not yet supported by the 
driver but coming soon (e.g.  multi-rate retry, QoS, compression, XR mode, 
etc.).  The 5111/2111 radios are the "previous generation" and have been 
replaced by the 5112/2112 which are noticeably better.  $99 is a bit high 
given that these radios are "last years model".
