Shortly: get true Prism2 device:

Linksys WUSB11 v2.5  - exactly this version!! other do not work well.
Siemens SS 1022 (check the number)
Actiontec

List of more is on these pages:

www.linux-wlan.org
ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/FAQ

If you have different browser than Internet Explorer read this:

http://www.fuw.edu.pl/~pliszka/hints/prism2.html

Look also in prism2sta.c file in the source code.

Then don't buy any.

linux-wlan drivers are quite solid and work nicely for me but there
are certain configuration issues which may take you hours - depending
what exactly do you want.

Read the archives of the mailing list at www.linux-wlan.org
and the pages listed above.
