(Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of the firmware-ath9k-htc package, and ThinkPenguin, one of the vendors, has compensated me for my work.) I suggest getting a wireless adapter that is Respects Your Freedom certified by the Free Software Foundation to work with only free software. You can see a list of those here: https://ryf.fsf.org/products?category=7 These are guaranteed to work with fully free software and free firmware. Most (all?) of the USB ones use the ath9k_htc chipset, and although they're not yet working with the installer (#934822) or working out of the box (#900171), they work if you install the firmware-ath9k-htc package. Alternatively, you may reply to me privately if you're looking for advice on how to hunt eBay for bargain ones, although then you're taking a gamble of whether a device really has the chip inside it's supposed to.
