Hi

Can you recommend a USB-C WiFi dongle with stock Linux Kernel support? Not any configuration needed, just give passphrase

Background: Broadcom BCM4377b wifi card not working

I think this is the right search?

## USB WiFi adapters that are supported with Linux `in-kernel` drivers

USB WiFi adapters that are supported with `in-kernel` drivers are plug-and-play with most desktop distros. Additional work may be required for server distros as the maintainers of server distros seem to think that there are ethernet cables everywhere a user may choose to locate a server. Linux `in-kernel` drivers are preferable over `out-of-kernel` drivers for most users and use cases as problems with locating, installing and maintaining drivers are dramatically reduced allowing for a better experience.

Note: All USB WiFi adapters listed here are single-state (no Windows driver inside), single-function (no Bluetooth support) and use in-kernel drivers (Plug and Play). Buying adapters that meet this criteria greatly increases the probability of a satisfying experience.
