Hi Ron!

Last year when I looked for *any* Wi-Fi adapter that was easily
available and worked fine on Tails it happened to be much harder than I
expected. From the first approximately 10 I bought, none worked.

Since then we were more lucky and we now have on the website a solid
list of adapters that work fine, are super small, and easily available
online.

But we're still lacking good adapters that can be bought offline in
brick-and-mortar stores. The brands I see the most offline are TP-Link,
D-Link, and Linksys.

So if you know of any adapters of these brands that are sold nowadays
and work fine in Tails, yes, I'd still be super interested in getting
one and adding it to the list.
