Wireless USB Adaptor

[Joel Addison]

I have a Belkin Wireless G USB adapter (F5D7050) that works well with 
linux. It was up and running as soon as it was plugged in, with no 
configuration necessary.

I also tried a Billion BiPAC 3012G, however it overheated and the 
connection dropped out every minute or two. If it hadn't overheated 
though, I am sure it would have worked well, because as with the Belkin, 
it worked as soon as it was plugged in.

Hopefully that helps.
