I use a TP-Link TL-WN721N 150Mbps dongle. It starts working as soon as I
plug it in.....

&gt;<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; Hi everyone,<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; As you may know, I am adding the finishing touches to my desktop \
computer<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; that I have built. Now I&#39;m looking for a wifi dongle, \
but I can&#39;t seem to<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; find any that definitely work with Ubuntu. \
I know that the RPi official<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; wifi dongle works, but it is above my \
price point ($20).<br> &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Have any of you found any dongles that work well with Ubuntu?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I&#39;m trying to keep the price under $20.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Any help is appreciated,<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Tony<br>
