good idea, but since it was time sensitive, I opted for best buy at a local
brick and mortar.

 Any options out there?  I'm willing to buy stuff online if needed.

 The N300 from netgear I have isn't installing, even on the netinst cd
 with firmware.



 Most USB dongles will require firmware.  The little Edimax dongle
 available on Amazon and everywhere works beautifully with the Raspberry PI
 using Raspbian out-of-the-box, perhaps it would work for you?  It's tiny
 and supports WiFi-N, costs about $10.
