It is a mess on the usb adaptors.  From what I saw last time I looked
a 'n' one that is fully supported by default seems to exist.

I have an AC one, but I have to download and compile the driver and
every few kernel versions I have to obtain updated source code.  So
far each set of updated sources code has came from a new source, so
keeping it working is not trivial.
