I need to buy a new wifi card. I'm using Mint 17.2 Cinnamon. Preferably a usb dongle. And as cheap as possible.
Can someone recommend one that work 100% out of the box?

Re: Wifi recommendation
This one is plug and play as well (I have it myself):
http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN725N ... B008IFXQFU
Only superficial drawback: it doesn't show the strength of the available wireless networks correctly. You see them all, in Network Manager, but they all appear to have a strength of near zero.
But that's only an optical bug: simply connect to your network and the connection should be strong, fast and stable.

I have an Edimax I got with my Raspberry Pi, and I have used it on other computers running various sorts of Linux. About 10 bucks, I think.
