Si es para uso bajo linux exclusivamente, yo recomendaria, alguna con chipset Atheros, Ralink o Prism, que son los que estan mas evolucionados los drivers.

D-Link DWG-G520 (Atheros)

There is an official madwifi package in the non-free section of the Debian archive: see http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi - If you want the lastest driver you have to install it manually.

Manual installation (standard)

Download lastest drivers from http://madwifi.org/

mkdir /root/hardware
cd /root/hardware
apt-get install subversion wireless-tools
apt-get install linux-headers-{your-kernel-version}
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/madwifi/madwifi-0.9.2.tar.gz
tar zxf madwifi-0.9.2.tar.gz
cd /madwifi-0.9.2/scripts
./madwifi-unload.bash
./find-madwifi-modules.sh /lib/modules/
cd ..
make
make install
modprobe ath_pci
modprobe wlan_scan_sta

If during compiling you get a error like this:
