USB WiFi Adapter Information and Links for Linux Many people find that using adapters with in-kernel drivers is a better solution than using an adapter that requires drivers to be found (not easy to find the right driver), downloaded, compiled (confusing for those that are not developers), installed, fixed (not fun) and reinstalled. With adapters that use in-kernel drivers, simply plug the adapter in and it will work. These drivers are maintained in the kernel without the need for user intervention, although, if you want to help with the code, you are welcome to do so. These adapters use drivers that are already in the Linux kernel.
