  Hi Olaf

You have to beware of recommendations for wireless adapters, for example 
3 years ago a a manufacturer might of brought out an adapter that works 
with Linux and all over Google it is pasted that it works 100% with 
Linux. You go out and buy that wireless adapter and in the meantime they 
have change the chipset and there is no ways it will work.

Anyway i recommend Senao.
