We received a second-hand desktop PC (I know, right!?) that we've set up for my older son to use. We recently moved it far, far away from our home office, and I don't want to even 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: https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_745techspecs.pdf) 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! -- -bill!
