I'd /generally/ 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.
So saying, I had a computer that worked solidly for many years using the
cheapest TP-Link network card and (ack bleaah) NDISwrapper.
cheers,
Stewart
