What wifi dongle is most compatible?

Post by Offcenter »

Gentlemen, I need to buy a USB wifi dongle for an old Dell Inspiron 1405.
Can you tell me what would be most reliable/Linux compatible
dongle to buy?
I don't want to buy something and then find that it's a pain to
set up, or is not compatible with Linux.
Thanks folks!!
