Just a word to say I received just now this:
http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1pc-Mini-USB-WiFi-Wireless-802-11-n-g-b-150M-L...
very cheap wifi usb dongle (1.53€ free postage to France!), and it worked out of the box (after config in YaST).
Probably RTL 8188ETV
Just notice I already installed in this computer an other Dlink dongle, so may be I already had some driver installed. This one is specially small.
I tried a similar gadget some time ago, from Asus. It worked initially, but soon I noticed problems. Not that the connection dropped, but some kind of kernel problem, I don't remember the details. There was a bugzilla... ah, yes, "[Bug 836220] WiFi dies and kernel oopses". Nasty one, unsolved. I have that machine on wire, which is probably better, anyway. It is my acting server. The identification was: AmonLanc:~/Bugzilla # hwinfo --netcard 39: USB 00.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at usb.122] Unique ID: Uc5H.KDHpt7NkXbE Parent ID: k4bc.9T1GDCLyFd9 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0 SysFS BusID: 1-4:1.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "ASUSTek ASUS EZ N Network Adapter" <======================= Hotplug: USB Vendor: usb 0x0b05 "ASUSTek Computer, Inc."
