*I would suggest to try and use the 802.11N wireless adapter by SMC, it 
works great for Linux, I've used two of there products, there router, 
and there wireless adapter*...*

NetGear, on the other hand, there wireless adapter took me a while to 
get it working, I was told by Netgear that it would not work on 
Linux....Humm, but I made it work, at any rate I took it back to Best 
Buy before the 30days and was fully refunded...I just did not want 
something that would give me problems later on...

I am very happy with SMC, which they do support LINUX...
