Hey all. Taking @thetechnobear advice and getting a WiFi dongle. Can anyone here recommend one that’s extremely solid? I don’t really Care about speed more so stability and works.
ok, first a caveat, I don’t use wifi, I use an ethernet dongle…
but I did test it for you… to make sure its working still, and it is!
anyway a cheap unbranded one

the chipset is more important that the brand, as the kernel only has certain chipsets included (Im not sure which!, unlike a full desktop distro which has a LOT 
I detailed how to setup here
note: you need to follow this exactly, its not plug n’ play, as there is no AP support.
EDIT: oh, I see my doc detailed the wifi dongle to get and chipset… I was on the ball that day !
