Default Networkcard (usb) recommendations

Hi! I'm going to buy a networkcard (usb) (for my PC) and was thinking I could ask you guys for any recommendations!
The card dosen't need to have "N" technology but it dosen't hurt!
The thing that it should have is good reception and a stable one (even if the signal is a bit weak) and it is a big plus if it works with Linux (Mandriva)!
It's mainly going to be used with a d-link router and there is a lot of walls between the router and the computer (but there is still a signal).
The card can cost approximately 40$

Would be really great if you could help me with this!

I recommend this one because it has a removable antenna so that if your getting weak signal on it, you can just buy another antenna to replace it:

Hawking Technology - Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter - HWUG1

For the antenna, I recommend:::

FRYS.com*|*Airlink

In all likeliness, your not going to get a great signal with the stock antenna on the USB adapter, so get this antenna if thats the case. I use this antenna, and through three walls, I get five bars. But, if the signal is good or better, then theres no need .
