Which wireless USB adapter should I buy to use with BackTrack?
 
Hey guys, I've got BackTrack and it (just like all other Linux distros) hates my built in Broadcom4306 Wireless Card...

What inexpensive USB adapter could I get that BackTrack already supports (or would be easy to add support to?)

Thanks,
phrzn

USB Wireless.. yuck, hard to get working, low power, limited range.. practically worthless..

Why not go for a PCI or PCMCIA Wireless adapter instead ?

I recommend wired to wireless bridge (aka Access Points). They are OS independent. If you want low latency and ease of setup, wireless Access Points are better. I do not recommend internal wireless NIC because they do not have sensitivity and transmitting power compared to external devices. Also internal wireless NIC does produce problems with the computer.
