There is a howto on installing the TL-WN722N adapter here (http://elinux.org/<br />
<strong>RPi</strong>_Peripherals#Wireless:_TP-Link_TL-<br />
WN722N_USB_wireless_adapter_.28Debian_6.29) , which also acts as a guide for<br />
installing others too.<br />
Working USB Wifi Adapters<br />
These adapters are known to work on the <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other<br />
adapters may well work, but have not yet been tried.<br />
Note: A WiFi adapter will probably need more power than the <strong>Raspberry</strong> Pi USB port<br />
can provide, especially if there is a large distance from the WiFi adapter to the WiFi<br />
Access Point. Therefore, you may need to plug the WiFi adapter into a powered USB<br />
hub.<br />
▪ 3COM<br />
▪ 3CRUSB10075: ZyDAS zd1211rw chipset (!)<br />
▪ 7DayShop<br />
▪ W-3S01BLK, W-3S01BLKTWIN : Unbranded product available from<br />
7DayShop, in a single or twin pack. [22] (http://www.7dayshop.com/<br />
catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_9&products_id=112046) , [23]<br />
(http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/<br />
product_info.php?&products_id=112527) . Tested on Debian Wheezy,<br />
with the dongle attached directly to the <strong>RPi</strong> along with the wireless<br />
keyboard receiver. Shows up as a Ralink RT5370 device, and no drivers<br />
or additional software downloads required. Created wpa.conf, edited<br />
'interfaces' file and restarted the networking. The manufacturer portion<br />
of the MAC address (7cdd90) is assigned to "Shenzhen Ogemray<br />
Technology Co., Ltd."<br />
▪ It works without additional software connected directly to a Rev 2 Pi but<br />
stops working after a period of time (3 to 4 hours) with a fully updated<br />
Wheezy and all the 'USB workarounds' [24] (http://elinux.org/<br />
Rpi_USB_check-list) in place.<br />

package)<br />
▪ AWUS036NH: Tested on Arch Linux ARM using the rt2800usb module.<br />
▪ AWUS036NH: Tested on Debian Wheezy (with Ralink firmware<br />
