Seems you have had bad luck. Most wifi devices work well with Linux
these days, of course assuming you have installed the right drivers /
firmware, and that they are not blocked by the firmware which seems to
be the issue in this thread.

When it comes to usb adapters, the vendors have a tendency to do very
evil things. In the past I have needed usb_modeswitch to be installed
to make things work, but YMMV.
