Wireless adapters that work with Ubuntu

[Mazate]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some wireless adapters that are known to work well with Ubuntu. I have an all wireless setup now and before I buy the parts to build my new computer I was wondering if anyone knew of a sure-fire wireless adapter that I can count on to work.

Edimax Ew7128g PCI adapter.

00:0a.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)

Worked out of the box in 10.04 and 12.04.

Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)
When I first installed 12.04 the wireless card worked intermitantly.
I installed ndiswrapper and that also worked intermitantly.
I removed ndiswrapper and now I no longer get wlan0

syslog shows
Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev-wlan0 instead
Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)
lspci -k shows
Subsystem: Surecom Technology Device 13f3
Kernel modules: rt2500pci
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent.rules does not get a wlan0 generated.
modprobe - l also shows the rt2500pc1 is loaded.

I would really like to solve this problem.

belkin 802.11 b/g wireless usb dongle worked perfectly from the beginning for me, didn't install a thing, even worked from the ubuntu live disk & it was easy to set up internet connection sharing to my ethernet card + it was dirt cheap.
You might want to think about a b/g/n version though as fiber optic networks seem to require the newer cards to run full speed.

pdk. Are you saying you installed the wireless adapter driver with ndiswrraper?
If yes, after install of the driver with ndiswrapper try this:

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo su
echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules
exit

Reboot


Got this from chili555 less than a week ago and it worked for me.
