You'll want to use the card Cisco sells, or an identical chipset.

If you can find the identical chipset (I don't know off the top
of my head what it is) I bet it'll work but it certainly won't
be supported by Cisco. I've never tried this; support is too 
important to be worth the $200 or so price difference. 

The Finesse OS is pretty damn small and isn't going to have ANY
sort of broad range driver support.
