The ones from http://libre.thinkpenguin.com are your best choice. The Wireless G adapter will work out-of-the-box. The Wireless N adapters won't work out-of-the-box with Trisquel 6 (this is because the firmware required used to be proprietary before it was made free recently), but the Think Penguin website has instructions for installing the firmware manually.

Yeah i looked at a few of them, They are a bit pricey though, $54 for a usb adapter is a bit much considering most of them are only $15 usually.

My laptop also has an internal ralink card that uses the rt2800pci driver, Unfortunately there is a bug in the driver so it only works on ubuntu 12.04 if you install the linux backports 3.6 modules package.
