What I have already purchased, in the hope that it will be suitable, is an Edimax EW-7811UN Wireless 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps Nano USB Adaptor which is claimed to be the "world's smallest!" although similar sized models are available from other manufacturers.
It is quoted as being Linux compatible, and cost me just under £10 from Amazon (UK).
Unfortunately I shant be able to check out full compatability until I actually receive my Raspberry Pi computer, but it certainly is small! 
I bought:
I plugged it into my Linux box, and it worked. That is, I could list the access points out here, but as I have a wired gigabit ethernet connection I didn't need it to work any further so now it's waiting for my RPI....
What I like about this one is that I might be able to extend the antenna with a cable. Or I can use a directional antenna.
