I bought Edimax 54g USB dongles from efficientpc.co.uk for £12 for the
dongle and £17 for the dongle with antenna but they don't seem to sell
them any more, so I found them on Linux Emporium, albeit for £20 each:

Both have worked fine for me under Windows and Ubuntu, including on
machines with only USB 1.1 (and consequently lower wireless connection
rates). They use the Ralink chipset, the Windows tool isn't particularly
nice but worked ok.
