Hello everyone,
If you are looking for a WiFI USB adapter which works out of the box in Fedora or Linux, it is worth to try LM Technologies WiFi USB Adapter.
My friend bought this one from Amazon.co.uk for only 7 pound:

To see whether it works, he tested on my Fedora 13 laptop though I mentioned that it probably would not work due to the lack of Linux driver. Amazingly, it works just as it should be without any configuration. NetworkManager recognise it in second.
Here is the dmesg information about this usb wireless dongle.
