I'm running Raspbmc on my Pi and I use this USB WiFi adapter available from Adafruit.
I had to make the changes shown in this answer to get this interface to come up automatically after a reboot. The driver for this adapter was already in the Raspbmc kernel. It is my understanding that this driver is also in Raspbian Wheezy.
Here's a link to known working USB WiFi adapters for the Raspberry Pi.

I am running Raspbian on my Pi, and I use an 'RTL8192cu' based USB WiFi adapter.
Configuration was easy:
Step 1 - sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces:
(modified for your wireless network settings, of course)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto RSN WPA
wpa-pairwise CCMP TKIP
wpa-group CCMP TKIP
wpa-ssid "MYNETWORKNAME"
wpa-psk "MYNETWORKPASSWORD"
iface default inet dhcp
Step 2 - sudo reboot
When the Pi comes up it should automatically connect to your wireless network.
If it does not, you can check and see if there is an existing discussion for your specific hardware, software, etc.
