CentOS - Mar 2016 - Compatible 5GHz wifi usb dongles?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a 5GHz usb wifi dongle that works out of the box with
CentOS?

Tried various Mediatek (0e8d:7610) %(*^ off amazon/ebay, without any luck, so
please don't suggest that.

Thanks!

Hi Nux.

I've used the following successfully on CentOS 7:
TP-LINK - TL-WN722N

I'm currently using it on Ubuntu where lsusb gives this:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n

No issues whatsoever - an added bonus is that it does monitor mode if you plan
on troubleshooting wifi!


Cheers,
ak.

Apologies, Nux.

I was looking at the wrong information - this one doesn't do 5Ghz - I mis
-interpreted the output from lspci and lsusb - my internal card is the one that
does 5Ghz.

Sorry for the noise!
