You cannot determine if a usb wifi dongle is supported by linux by just plugging it in, nor by brand name. You have to know the chipset inside it. For example, see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers and since you are looking specifically for USB dongles, see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices/USB -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
