I see them.
If I could know what Hardware Version they are, I can tell
you what chipset they have.,

No, I got in touch after being on this mailing-list a bit and seeing
a few things I could assist with.

I see the Edimax is listed with is its max network capability
(N150/N300/N600/N750/N900)
not by its model#.
As mentioned before, wikidevi has a -lot- of good info on
wireless adapters:
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Edimax
On Tails website, there's a "N150" listed. Could it possible be a
EW-7811Un ?
If so, it uses Realtek RTL8188CUS and this chipset is also used
by many other adapters.
In Linux, the important part is to find/know what chipset is has, and
then what driver it needs under Linux (and therefor Tails)
If the "N150" adapter is the EW-7811Un, it is identical with:
Edimax EW-7811GLn, EW-7811Un, EW-7811UWn, GWU-H811GLn
Airlink101 AWLL5088
Sitecom WL-365
GETNET GN-521U

As mentioned, wikidevi is a very good place to find this information.
When one knows some chipset that works, suddenly one has a lot
of different adapters (Brand / model) to chose from.
