Look at the source[1] what's supported :-) Well, I've bought TP-LINK
TL-WN422G[2] recently which is based on Atheros 9271 chipset and it works
quite well with 2.6.36. There's no support for ath9k_htc chipsets in 2.6.34
yet, but you can get it working using compat-wireless[2]. If you need
something for 2.6.34 directly, I would look for zd1211 based dongles.
