Has anyone had much success running a USB wireless network adapter?
I'm currently running a built in Broadcom chipset and I heard its having issues with upcoming Kernel 3.18 so I've been looking into the USB adapters as its my only hardware option for this laptop. I've seen many adapters with the Atheros and Realtek chipset that should run Linux. I really prefer a flush mount design adapter that won't get in the way and they're cheap. I read the adapters prefer line of site to the access point so I'm wondering how well they will work transmitting through a bedroom wall.
