Wireless USB Cards/Adapters for Ubuntu

Can anyone recommend a good and cheap PCI wireless card or USB wireless adapter that will work under Ubuntu without any manual driver installation? Just plug and play.

Links from newegg would be awesome.

I used one of these and it installed automatically and worked fine under Linux

toarlach, run over to your local RadioShack and pick up a usb wireless adapter. I do believe we carry netgear ones and they are about 30 or 40 dollars. If it doesn't work you got 30 days to return it.

I'm very much leaning towards one of these, and I've checked the RadioShack website for availability in the store nearest me, and it's looking very promising.
