My tp-link TL-WN823N works on F27 out-of-the-box. It's 2.4GHz only and
costs about 13 €.

Well, I've got this one in my F27 desktop at work providing
wifi for my phone and tablet acting as an access point:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0411:01a2 BUFFALO INC. (formerly
MelCo., Inc.) WLI-UC-GNM Wireless LAN Adapter [Ralink RT8070]
It is a cute little thing, just a tad bigger than the USB
slot it is plugged into.
You can probably guess some more by looking in the
kernel modules directories at:
/usr/lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
I looked at older installations I have, and I am shocked to see they
contain the b43 and b43legacy wireless drivers.
How come they did not make it into f27????
See below:
$ find /lib/modules/ -name b43\*
/lib/modules/3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43
/lib/modules/3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko

Well, plugging it in, and running dmesg, I see

I ran
$ sudo modprobe realtek 8139cp 8139too atp r8169
(so I could cover all the realtek related drivers),
$ lsmod | egrep 'realtek|8139cp|8139too|atp|r8169'
