suitable usb adapter for internet connection with ubuntu 9.10

Hello!

As far as i know, there are no USB-connected wireless adapters which work directly out of the box.

People have had success with Netgear's USB wireless line, and searching in google should yield a large array of walkthroughs for you. Here is one from the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51993

Thanks for your reply. Would I succeed more easily by connecting to
the router using a cable with a RJ45 plug. If so this would side-step
any issues with USB adapters. You may already have deduced that I'm
relatively new to the world of computers and their vagaries.
