I have also would like to have an answer to this ?!

The only USB wireless driver included in m0n0wall is for the Ralink Technology RT2500USB chipset ("ural" driver). There's a list of products which use this chipset in the following manpage:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ural&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-RELEASE

...but beware: sometimes manufacturers change the chips they use in their products without giving it a new model number (D-Link is particularly notorious for doing this), so a listing in that manpage is not an absolute guarantee that it'll work.

I have just tried a couple of Linksys WUSB54G-EU and they work flawlessly as ural0, ural1 ... at least on latest usb ALIX (like newest Alix.2D boards) usb controller is under the giant lock though, so I don't know about reliability and performances. Maybe a PCI/mPCI card would be better.
