Actually, get a G enabled wireless card. They aren't anymore expensive, as G is the new standard. Plus, if you do upgrade your access point in the future, you won't have to upgrade the wireless card as well.

And too, a wireless card with advanced functionality (ie. 802.11g) will be able to give you mroe security options should you upgrade your access point, as 802.11b devices do not have the most up to date security practices built in (ie. WEP vs. WPA/WPA2, etc.)
