Justine, well it is a known issue discussed a few times on these forums. If you search these group thoroughly, you'll find Robert Nelson talking about which devices work the best on Linux, and I do believe he even mentions some that do not require dongles.
This is why I have a problem with adafruit's stuff. Realtek networking devices have been known to be flaky in Linux for years, yet this is what adafruit sells ? Atheros devices I think is what Robert says works best in Linux on ARM, but feel free to double check yourself.
