Pretty sure Tails is based off Debian so most wifi devices should work. It would be good to let us know what chipset you have so we can give you a more accurate answer.

Tails uses the 3.2.21 in their 0.12.1 release, which should pretty much work with almost any wifi chipset. When it comes to wifi I would recommend not to go for the latest and greatest, but to use slightly older chipsets, preferable from manufacturers that have Linux support, like Atheros and Realtek.
