I was looking at that one. Anything special to get it up and going?
 
Nothing out of the ordinary other than downloading the software for it. It doesn't automatically connect on boot in OS X (it does in Windows) but all you have to do is unplug it and plug it back in. Somehere here on tonymac there's a topic about how to build your own AirPort card, you should check that out too (though it's PCI, not USB).

It's PCIe. Absolutely worth considering if you have a spare PCIe 1x slot since it uses an actual Mac Pro AirPort n-draft mini-PCIe card through an adaptor. => 100% compatibility, also in the future.

Alternatively, you could use this.
