I looked at the first url shown above, and I see two usb adapters
smaller than a matchbook, and one with an antenna. Recently I had to
spend some time in a rehab center, and I did not have a Linux driver for
my old Dell laptop, so I bought something like one of those
small adapters. _Do not!_ As I should have known (being a retired RF
engineer) they have no range! The gadget with the antenna may
work. (I was trying to hit a "hot spot" external to the facility. I
finally found a driver--not easy!--using Windows-- which allowed the
internal
wifi system to work.) OTOH, if you're only trying to connect across a
room, the little matchbook size gadget will probably be OK.
