Hi,

Here is the AR928X network adapter I bought in April of 2015 from
ThinkPenguin.com:

https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-pcie-card-gnu-
linux-v4-tpe-n300pcie4

It says it works with Ubuntu 16.04, as well as Linux kernels 2.6.29 and
newer. The best I had with it were very intermittent, spotty connections
to the Internet, and often not even to my router.

I've since gone back and done a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.1, and my
Internet is working great now.

Upon further inquiries on AskUbuntu.com, someone suggested that the
problem had something to do with the newer Linux kernel being used in
newer Ubuntu versions.

Ubuntu 14.04.1 comes with kernel 3.13. Updating my system through
Software Updater automatically brought me up to 14.04.4, but thankfully
keeps kernel 3.13 if you started with 14.04.1.

Although I'd love to use Ubuntu 16.04, I don't want to install anything
newer than 14.04.4 unless I know that my WiFi adapter is supported. I
hope that will be sooner than later.
