My tp-link TL-WN823N works on F27 out-of-the-box. It's 2.4GHz only and costs about 13 €.

        Well, I've got this one in my F27 desktop at work providing
        wifi for my phone and tablet acting as an access point:

        Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0411:01a2 BUFFALO INC. (formerly
        MelCo., Inc.) WLI-UC-GNM Wireless LAN Adapter [Ralink RT8070]

        It is a cute little thing, just a tad bigger than the USB
        slot it is plugged into.

        You can probably guess some more by looking in the
        kernel modules directories at:

        /usr/lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless

    I looked at older installations I have, and I am shocked to see they
    contain the b43 and b43legacy  wireless drivers.
    How come they did not make it into f27????

    See below:

    $ find /lib/modules/ -name b43\*
    /lib/modules/3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43
    /lib/modules/3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
    /lib/modules/3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy
    /lib/modules/3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko
    /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43
    /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
    /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy
    /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko

Well, plugging it in, and running dmesg, I see

[371723.353041] usb 4-1: new high-speed USB device number 27 using ehci-pci

I ran
$ sudo modprobe realtek 8139cp 8139too atp r8169
(so I could cover all the realtek related drivers),

$ lsmod | egrep 'realtek|8139cp|8139too|atp|r8169'
realtek                12700  0

then I ran ifconfig:
