Seems you have had bad luck. Most wifi devices work well with Linux these days, of course assuming you have installed the right drivers / firmware, and that they are not blocked by the firmware which seems to be the issue in this thread. When it comes to usb adapters, the vendors have a tendency to do very evil things. In the past I have needed usb_modeswitch to be installed to make things work, but YMMV. -t
