The wireless on my laptop no longer works and I was looking to get a wireless USB adaptor for it.

I need it to be as unobtrusive as possible and have seen a few examples,

Was wondering if anyone had experience of any of these or any others that they would recommend. The laptop is running the latest version of Crunchbang.

If you go Belkin, it should work out the box!!! Mine did.

Do Belkin have a USB adaptor around the same size as the ones above?

Shameless self bump.

8 dollars, and according to the description (which is usually accurate on BuyInCoins) it's Linux-compatible.

EDIT: Yup, they're reliable and have free shipping. They ship directly from Hong Kong / Singapore though so it may take between 1 and 3 weeks for it to arrive.
