wifi adapters - trinidad - 12-16-2016
Buying a USB wifi adapter can be confusing. Many are often not what they advertise. Over the years I have refurbished and repaired literally thousands of computers, both Linux and Windows, with or without onboard wifi NIC’s. For the last five years or so I have found what I believe to be the most reliably cross platform USB wifi adapters available and I highly recommend them. I cannot recall ever not being able to connect to my office wifi with any computer I was repairing. If you are having difficulty with wifi connections get a Panda wireless USB wifi adapter. They have a website and are distributed by Panther in the US and sold by Amazon for around $15 to $25 US. I am currently connected at 144Mbs on a five year old one. I have two six years old that I keep around the office for plugging into computers I repair or refurbish. I have had several and never had a failure. It is a fine product pretty much plug and surf for Debian, Ubuntu flavors like Linux Lite, Kali with monitor function, BSD, Slack Slax Porteus etc., and Windows, and I have yet to have to load the Windows drivers on machines that have come through the office. Excellent reliable easy to use product.

And keep the components of only ONE network-manager in the pc.
Once I searched for many days because the dongle (and network-manager) didn't do the job for I had switched to wicd, but I had not deleted all Gnome-parts. Otherway around Gnome for Wicd the same.
