I asked Geoprge Nychis and got a reply. He recommends http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Sony_UWA-BR100 which has AR7010 + AR9280 chipset. Almost the same as TL-WN821N v3 but secondary chip is a little different as the TP-Link has AR9287. Found them on Amazon for $75. I don't know if these works out-of-the-box or that maybe you have to edit the source a little bit to get the IDs supported? Well doesn't really matter for me, easy to fix.
