(NOTE: Amazon lists this as an FS-AC85SE, but what I received says FS-AC85BT on the box.) $19.95

Plugged this card into my Dell Optiplex 9020 with Mx-23 Linux kernel 6.1 and it immediately functioned properly with good speed for a wifi connection one floor away from the router. I have had various USB network adapters, and all had various issues and slow speeds at best. This one is giving me a good signal with 192 Mpbs download and 23 Mpbs upload according to the Speedtest website. For just under $20, I'm more than satisfied. Just to be clear, this card is the FebSmart PCI Express FS-AC85BT which is the one with the red heatsink. (NOTE: Amazon lists this as an FS-AC85SE, but it says FS-AC85BT on the box). I can't report on the Bluetooth function because it looked as if I would have to unplug and disable other USB ports in order to connect it to the motherboard. I don't actually use Bluetooth on this desktop, but I already have it through a cheap little dongle.

For reference, the illustration in the Amazon listing states that the chipset in this network adapter is the Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174A and recommends the Linux ATH10K driver. As stated above, it worked out of the box for me, and I didn't have to load a driver or open a terminal window at all.

The other one allows video "screaming" in Stereo, though!
