I don't know why you'd spend anything extra for USB3--your old Dell
doesn't support that, and if you get a new laptop, the wifi will be
built-in and working. The little $6 adapter that I mentioned
earlier worked fine with PCLinuxOS for the short distance that it
worked over. It "just worked."
I didn't specifically look for USB 3.0 for the reason you mentioned. But
the other modes, etc. will be useful.
I have a tiny, inexpensive USB adapter that has fairly poor range and
does not work in some places where I attend meetings, etc. even though
it works fine in others.
