Maybe I'm going to repeat myself, sorry for that.

You can invetigate about a shop allowing you to try like you want the new toy.
Prepare a usb stick with OpenBSD inside if you don't have already one and go.
The search about this shop depends also from where you live, in some
places there are more strict busines practices than in others.

For the rest many LOL about:

Instead I really hope for you you wont find a compatibile driver when it is 
about WiFi,
meaning security.

Good luck!
