I bought this last year for my Raspberry Pi 2. It works great and is
advertised as Linux-compatible:

We received a second-hand desktop PC (I know, right!?) that

contemplate wiring up Ethernet across the house for it.
It's a Small Form Factor (SFF) Dell Optiplex 745, and IIRC has one
low-profile PCI Express slot available right now.
(Specs for the thing are here, if you're curious:

But, it also has a bunch of unused USB ports, too.
Now, I've heard that USB WiFi on Linux is: "do not want",
because the drivers are crap, but it also seems like the
easiest plug-and-play solution, if it'd work.
So I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for
Linux-friendly (*Ubuntu) WiFi devices in either of
these form-factors... (low-profile PCI, or USB)?
Thanks in advance!
