Guides
Many of these are applicable to many adapters.
Notes
A Wi-Fi adapter will probably need more power than the Raspberry Pi USB port can provide, especially if there is a large distance from the Wi-Fi adapter to the Wi-Fi Access Point, or it is transferring large amounts of data. Therefore, you may need to plug the Wi-Fi adapter into a powered USB hub.
If you need to install a driver yourself, chances are that it is in your distro s non-free package repository. You may need to enable the non-free repository in your package manager s settings.
In general, devices with RTL8188CUS work great as wifi access point. If you plan to use your raspberry pi in ad hoc mode, you must verify that your adapter is using the nl80211 driver. Wifi adaptors using RTL8188CUS driver will not work in ad hoc mode. See Hotspot - WiFi Access Point
Some WiFi adaptors, including Ralink brand, may not work reliably unless wireless-power off is included in /etc/network/interfaces. For more details see: Forum: RT5370 WiFi cuts out after some hours, needs reboot.
Working USB Wi-Fi Adapters
These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, as other adapters may well work, but have not yet been tried. You can help by expanding it.

TL-WN725N v2. Based on the Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset. Works out of the box on Rasbmc KODI 2014.12.25. Raspbian 3.18.xx includes a driver, but needs a separate firmware file downloading and installing. Earlier kernels need manual driver installation simple version and manual update after an upgrade.
TL-WN727N v3 rt2800usb, install package firmware-ralink. Works with Raspbian, supports hostapd. Does NOT require powered hub, works directly plugged into Raspberry with proper power supply 850mA, 1A worked. 40Mhz doesn t work.
TL-WN821N v3 ath9k_htc, htc_7010.fw ; works out of the box on ArchLinuxARM, Wheezy and on OpenElec r11211, Problems with prior OpenElec; needs powered USB Hub B. This chipset is also compatible with hostapd wireless AP software
TL-WN821N v4 RLT8192CU, works out of the box on Arch, complains but works. Needs powered USB hub.
TL-WN822N v2 ath9k_htc works on ArchLinuxARM, with powered USB Hub. Successfully tested hostapd/dnsmasq.
TL-WN823N Works out of box on Raspian using powered USB Hub, for AP follow these instructions hostapd doesn t work out of the box. AP works without powered USB hub for me using a 5V 2A power source for the Raspi
TL-WN7200ND works. Can be made as a WiFi AP using hostapd. Need a powered USB hub.
TL-WDN3200 See Ralink RT5572 notes.
TL-WDN4200 AKA N900 - Working on hostapd on 5Gh using debian hostapd binary from apt-get with. Working a nl80211 driver. Works out of the box on Raspbian. Powered by Pi on Offical 2A power.

Problem USB Wi-Fi Adapters
These adapters were tested and found to have issues the Raspberry Pi. Note 10 as a possible solution/explanation for errors while running LXDE.
Alfa
AWUS036NHA Vendor ID: 0cf3, Product ID: 9271 - Tested with Raspbian. Works fine if connected after boot. Kills boot process if previously attached. Details here. Just buy a decent USB Hub / USB cable.
HWU54G rev. Z2 Vendor ID: 07b8, Product ID: 6001, listed as AboCom Systems Inc 802.11bg - does not work at all on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian 2015-02-16. Will not scan, will not connect. Will work on OpenELEC 5.0.5.
DWA-131 rev. B1 - Works now on Raspbian s kernel 3.6.11 or with DLink firmware:
DWL-G132 - In archlinux it is recognized - lsusb: 2001:3a03 D-Link Corp. DWL-G132 no firmware Atheros AR5523 - but no wlan0 device is created - perhaps it needs the firmware to be loaded
Edimax
EW-7811Un Vendor ID: 7397, Product ID: 7811 - Reports as containing the Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset listed below, no lockup or kernel oops under Wheezy, but dmesg reports constant timeouts trying to initialize the module. This appears to be resolved on 2012-09-18-Wheezy-raspbian and newer versions. EW-7811Un causes sporadic USB Issues when used together with steelseries 6G keyboard repeated keys, possible file system corruption
EW-7811Un Vendor ID: 7397, Product ID: 7811 - There have been issues with receiving UDP multicast packages in combination with most not all wireless routers. Nearly impossible to debug, since running a sniffer on the Pi makes everything work as expected.
EW-7811Un It doesn t support Access Point and you can t use it for hostapd.
WUSB300N Vendor ID: 13B1, Product ID: 0029 - Tested with Raspbian, OpenELEC, among others. No Linux chipset support for Marvell 88W8362 at all.
WL0085 tested under Debian Squeeze, Wheezy, Raspbian ; no stable connection can be established. This gets even worse when X is running.
MicroNEXT
MN-WD152B Debian image modprobe hangs when plugged in, lsusb hangs. udevd errors in the logs. 11 12
Possible fix: try the new Adafruit Occidentalis v0.1 image based on Raspbian Wheezy as it includes the needed 8192cu driver builtin to the kernel
Pandigital 802.11g
Shows up in output of lsusb as: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS ZD1211B 802.11g
Kernel driver automatically loaded: zd1211rw
Circumstances tested:
Directly plugged into RasPi s USB port
Plugged into powered USB hub
Plugged into unpowered USB hub
Will associate with access points that do not use encryption and which use WPA-PSK.
Periodically deconfigures itself layers 1-3 and become unresponsive.
Can be put into ad-hoc mode for an hour or two at a time but will eventually glitch out and become unresponsive.
RTL8188CUS USB-ID 0bda:8176, kernel oops in dmesg and freeze when pulled from USB. B

TEW-424UB USB ID: 0bda:8189; tested on Debian, Fedora Arch; rtl8187 driver; errors with LXDE running B
TL-WN821N USB ID: 0cf15; tested on Debian; requires htc_7010.fw firmware; ath9k_htc driver; errors with LXDE running B
TL-WN723N USB ID: 0bda:8176; tested on Arch without a powered hub; it seems to draw too much current.
TL-WN723N V3 USB ID: 0bda:8179; Needs custom driver on Raspbian wheezy.
