USB Network Adapter

Unread post by nassausky » Mon Jun 05, 2017 8:19 pm

Hey again,
Does anyone have a model and brand of a USB network adapter that has worked fine in the last couple years for linuxbbq without needing external drivers. I wanted to purchase one maybe on amazon that I can get in 2 days.

The last couple I bought needed me to do some digging for adapters in debian.

It's so nice to be able to just plug a USB stick into a laptop that has no network access and have it working.

Thanks!

wired or wireless?
a cheap usb ethernet dongle got my debian stable (initially) non-free install running, iirc
doesn't the bbq normally comes with a bunch on non-free drivers?

Cheap ($5-$10) tp-link or d-link atheros / realtek dongle usually runs fine on any OS.
