The mission of this site is to provide educational information, reviews of USB WiFi adapters and links to specific adapters that are known to perform well with Linux ( see The Plug and Play List ).
Note: Please use `Issues` to post problems, ask questions and read news.
Note: The `home` directory above contains documents that are linked below but it also contains some out of date documents and some documents that are used for testing so I recommend that you limit your use to the documents that are linked below.
Note: Please start by reading the first menu item, USB WiFi adapter information for Linux.

Note: While this site is maintained by Linux users for Linux users, Windows users are welcome also. No, we don't intend to add support for
USB WiFi adapter use on Windows but the list of adapters shown in menu item 2 contains information and links to a lot of good quality
adapters that also work well in Windows...this will prove beneficial to you Windows users when you try Linux...and we know you will.

Any information and links you can provide are welcome. Submit the information and links by clicking on Issues.
