Look for Level One WNC-0301USB. There are several revisions, but I
checked the Windows drivers, and all appear to have corresponding Linux
drivers: rt73usb, rt2500usb, rtl8187 and zd1211rw.
My device is revision v3. It's supported by rt73usb driver and works in
Fedora 8 out-of-box (at least with their updated current kernel).
