Question Xbox 360 networking question -Do I have to use a name brand microsoft wireless device

I'm on the verge of buying a system and debating between these two devices.

Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster :
Amazon.com: Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster (WUSB54GS): Electronics

Or the name brand...

Microsoft Wireless Network Adapter Xbox 360:
Microsoft Wireless Network Adapter Xbox 360 - Wal-Mart

Been to the xbox 360 forum and they seem to be completely clueless. A friend of mine uses another linksys device and it works fine. Some of the people over at teh xbox forum think that it will not work due to a driver issue which doesn't make much sense to me. Basically, the microsoft device costs $100 and the other only $15 so I'm trying to make a logical better buy.

Anyone able to clear this up for me with no assumptions... please?
