Currently I have my : Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter working perfectly, With under-voltage situations it does even proof to be more stable than the on-board wired ethernet. Although this setup seems to draw a bit more mili-amps now, it is quite stable, and probably has a better range than the onboard wifi in the aluminium case anyway. When there is a new driver set to use the original chipset for both internal and external version I might try it again. But currently I will just evade the problematic hardware.
