I'd <i>generally</i> agree, but like all consumer networking
manufacturing, they'll change the hardware inside to suit their
costs and not necessarily update the name or model number. If you're
running ARM or a non-Intel Linux, that change in chipset — no matter
how small (oh hai Realtek) — means the difference between a working
network adaptor or a USB-attached ambient air-warmer.<br>

So saying, I had a computer that worked solidly for many years using
the cheapest TP-Link network card and (ack bleaah) NDISwrapper.<br>
