It is tough to say X device is ok because vendors ignorantly change the
chipsets they use and still give devices the same model name/number (and if
we're lucky changing the version number...).

As Justin top-posted ;)
RTL8187 works well.  As do RT2500-based wireless chips.  Even some Zydas
chips (zd1211rw - I believe Backtrack had a patched driver for
injection) aren't all that bad (Atheros bought them [0] a while back).

Buffalo AirStation WirelessG (U2KG54) USB dongles have an RT2500 chip in
them.
