Get one that will work with the orinocco drivers or prism drivers and you should
be fine. Make sure if this is your home connection that you don't just use WEP.
Even at 128bit encryption, its not going to stop any one next door being able to
sniff the keys. Just make your self a VPN and be done with it.
