This issue arose because of my need to bypass the non-accessible WiFi<br>
network through the native card on my HP laptop. The network strength<br>
is raed by network manager applet, but data can&#39;t be exchanged.<br>
<br>
Could you please suggest me an USB WiFi dongle that is recommended by<br>
Debian and available in India?<br>

Problem with Amazon is that the chipsets are not available with the<br>
product. How could I find a product that would have the listed<br>
chipset?<br>
<br>
I ordered these two products without any possibility for comparison<br>
with the said Debian Pages:<br>
<br>
(1)<br>
TP-Link USB WiFi Adapter for PC(TL-WN725N), N150 Wireless Network<br>
Adapter for Desktop - Nano Size WiFi Dongle Compatible with Windows<br>
10/7/8/8.1/XP/ Mac OS 10.9-10.15 Linux Kernel 2.6.18-4.4.3<br>
<br>
This one identifies itself on the USB port as: 0bda:8179<br>
The full lsusb output:<br>
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.<br>
RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter<br>
<br>
(2)<br>
D-Link DWA-131 Wireless N Nano USB Adapter (Black)<br>
This one doesn&#39;t even register itself properly using lsusb.<br>
Says:<br>
Bus 001 Device 012: ID 2001:3319 D-Link Corp.<br>
This one was supposed to have been compatible by the seller (Amazon.in<br>
could with be searched with &quot;B008IFXQFU&quot; for the Product Id.)<br>
<br>
So could anyone inform me about a product based on his personal<br>
experience please?<br>
<br>
I find from the Debian page that the safest chipsets are as follows:<br>
carl9170 Atheros Communications AR9170 chipset<br>
prism2_usb Intersil Prism 2/2.5/3 chipsets<br>
rndis_wlan Broadcom BCM4320 chipset<br>
