that's a tricky one since many of them change chipset without changing
the model. however, ralink and zydas seem fairly popular and usually
work well.

what I would do is check the models sold in-store by PC World or Tesco,
verify as best as possible online that it's linux compat, buy it and
open the packaging very very carefully to try it out, and be prepared to
take it back if it doesn't work and simply act like a dumb and confused
customer!
