wifi usb adapter

#1 Post by jony127 »

Hello,

i'm looking for a wifi usb adapter that works on debian 10. i'm looking for options but i'm not sure if they work on debian or not.

I would like a non-nano-type wifi adapter, but I don't know which one to choose. Any recommendations that would have good compatibility with debian 10?

Thank you.

This one works for me:

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter
Needs the firmware-ralink package though.

Strange, I don't see that chipset supported here https://packages.debian.org/buster/firm ... sc-nonfree

Not that strange, since you're not looking at the correct firmware-ralink package.

Edit--my bad, it's a "dummmy package" (sic) pointing to the misc package.
