Just about any wireless usb device from Fry's electronics should work. I use
several ubuntu boxes and all kinds of wireless devices work.

Belkin 802.11g 54 Mbps
Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter - Walmart,  Works awesome!

I have not seen a USB device that will not work out of hte box, or without a
quick reboot.
