It's not quite "out of the box," but my TrendNet TEW-424UB works nicely for me with drivers from Realtek (who made the chipset in my adapter). A couple of caveats, though:

 

  • Manufacturers sometimes change chipsets without making obvious changes to the model name/number. I bought my TEW-424UB over a year ago, so it's conceivable that TrendNet has changed their design in that time. This caveat would apply to almost anything you could buy, of course.
  • The Realtek drivers make the Wi-Fi port look like an Ethernet port. They include their own software for setting Wi-Fi features, such as encryption, SSID, frequency, etc. This works fine, but it's different from Apple's own Wi-Fi subsystem.
