I am looking for one of those very small USB wifi adapters for the server I

for my purposes, one of those little 1cm ones would do. But which work with
Linux? When I was last in the store, only the TP-LINK said it was supported
on Linux...
Most of the 1cm WiFi dongles have a Realtek chip. The rtl819x
supports quite a few Realtek WiFi chipset
(https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/rtl819x).
I have bought a few on eBay for a couple of bucks each and they worked
out fine. The device is activated when plugged into an USB port
(ifconfig -a).
Just to add, the RHEL 7.3 kernel backported the wireless stack from
kernel-4.7, so if a chipset is supported by kernel-4.7 then it should be
supported in latest CentOS 7.
Hope that helps.
