Anyone have any suggestions for a good known working usb wifi adaptor on Amazon?

I have bought two and both I cannot get to work with linux.

Thanks,

There was a topic here last year about wheezy and stretch and those usb dongles, someone has writen a short post about how to.
They need proprietary drivers that are not included with debian.

I fell into the black hole. 6 hours later I climb out with a working usb wifi adaptor and my 10 network for the 7i92M.

Too late to the party, but have had good luck with the ones sold for use with the Raspberry Pi, as those are almost by definition Debian compatible.

That would have been nice info to have....lol

The drivers that came with the adaptor was fubar.

I had to hunt and compile a quite a few before it worked. And now I don't know which one worked......but it has been working great....
