[Tfug] Recommendations for hassle free desktop wireless card

Hi,

If this is for a desktop, I might be more inclined to get a router that 
can be set as a client bridge (either in default firmware, or with 
dd-wrt, tomato, etc).

That way you have wired ethernet ports at the desktop location, for use 
with other networked devices (Raspberry pi, printers, etc), and you 
don't have to worry about a card being "linux" supported, since you will 
actually be on a wired network that is wirelessly connected to the rest 
of your network.
