I spent 30 min going through all the 'clearance' open boxes at MicroCenter
today with my notebook, trying to see if any came up as supported. None
did. I went to the section with the unopen items and found the Asus
claiming Linux support. So much for that; looks like you have to build it
yourself and hope for the best.
So is there a USB 11n dongle that IS supported and can be had for < $20?
Actually an external antenna is a plus as it will be on a server that at
times will be a client and times an AP.
You cannot determine if a usb wifi dongle is supported by linux by
just plugging it in, nor by brand name.
You have to know the chipset inside it.
And when you are in the store, I suppose you then google what you see on
the shelf?
For example, see

and since you are looking specifically for USB dongles, see
