My PCI wireless card died last week, and I had to make a run to Fry's from work. I decided I wanted a USB one this time. I didn't know which USB dongles were linux compatible, so I went with my "the cheapest one is most likely" theory of linux compatibility and bought a Trendnet TEW-424UB which auto-detected and worked, but seems to disconnect every day or two. Nothing a quick unplug and replug can't fix, but also something I'm not resigning myself to. Does anyone know of a cheap USB wifi (g) dongle that works well in 64bit 2.6.27-11 Ubuntu? I don't want any hassles, I just one one that not only has been known to work, but one that works well.

Hello, check this site. From the site it seems that your USB dongle did not work well with Linux; it is grey. Go get the one with green color.
