I have an AZiO AWU254 (Ver: 1.0) adapter. From lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter As you can see, it uses a Ralink chipset, and it is supported by the in-kernel Ralink driver (rt73usb - non-free firmware, in package firmware-ralink, required). I just tested it with an AP running WPA-PSK, and it works fine. Mine looks like this one: http://www.handhelditems.com/azio-80211g-54mbps-wireless-adapter-p-38837.html but I have no idea if they're still using the same chipset ... The page only mentions WEP, and (of course) doesn't say anything about linux, but I don't know if the info is reliable. Caveat emptor.
