I bought a Netgear wifi-to-ethernet adapter when I switched to Linux. For desktops, it's an ideal solution: zero-maintenance, the computer just knows eth0 has a connection from somewhere. It has a web interface to set up connections. The only downside - and this doesn't matter for most desktop users - no monitor mode, no reaver, nothing related to wireless at all, because as far as the OS is concerned, it's wired. For laptops, there are always plenty micro-sized USB adapters with known compatibility if your built-in wifi has bad or no drivers.
