Haven't tried it on Ubuntu, but the TP-Link 510G from Intrex 
works fine with wpa_supplicant and the madwifi drivers in my 
Slackware linux laptop. They're $24.99 + Tx. I have 4 of 
them. They work fine in windows with wpa too.

(I can't believe the price - I was paying $70 for b cards 
not so long ago).
