If you HAVE to go with USB, you might try: http://www.oxfordtec.com/uk/USB-Wireless-Adapters-802.11b/g---54Mbps/c51_58/p140/SparkLAN-WL-685R-WLAN-802.11g-54Mbps-Wireless-USB-Dongle-%28Ralink-RT2571WF%29---also-LINUX-and-Apple-MAC-OSX-compatible/product_info.html which is rt2500usb based. I'll test a rt2500usb device tonight for AP mode for ya.
