Has anybody over there tried the Patriot Box Office adapter and can confirm that it doesn't work? That is a really good price for a 300Mbps USB wireless adapter though! It does use one of the suggested Realtek chips - RTL8192SU. The Patriot Box Office uses the Realtek 1073DD which I think is the same processor that is used in the A C Ryan POHD. That Asus adapter also uses a Realtek chip (RTL8188SU) but can only transfer at a maximum of 150Mbps vs 300Mbps of the Patriot. You can find cheaper versions of the 150Mbps Asus adapter on Bidorbuy/Dealextreme for ~R100 which might also work. You could also consider the Canyon CNP-WF518N3 (300Mbps) which also sells for R250 (Bonanza) which also appears to be compatible.

@marine1: I hope you have some luck with it!

It seems that the Patriot Box Office (PBO) can be flashed with A C Ryan firmware and the bundled PBO WiFi adapter works with the new ACR firmware. This would seem to suggest that the PBO WiFi adapter will work on your machine which is running the same firmware since the hardware is virtually identical? The second link also confirms the compatibility of the Asus N10 adapter with the PBO.

@marine1: Good to hear that it's working well! It appears that most of the Realtek media player USB wireless adapters are interchangeable i.e. the Compro adapter will work in the PBO etc. Presumably your adapter will also work in a Mede8er. Unfortunately the PBO player is a bit expensive locally as I think it would sell very well over here if it was available at prices close to $45~$60 which is what it often retails for in the US with a rebate.
