Ideally from a reputable brand, and in a compact form factor (something the size of a smallish flash drive, no big antenna sticking out)

I was gonna get the TP Link Archer T3U, but the driver developer left a README note saying there's no guarantee it will work in USB 3.0 mode, and I don't want to gamble on buying it to find out

I found this pretty interesting website that has lists of devices, on the right side panel of a specific page it shows the "probable linux driver" https://techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T_series

So for example (there are many other better ones on the website) the TP-LINK Archer T3U supposedly gets higher speeds. But TP-Link also listed above 480 Mbps for a USB 2.0 device I saw, so I don't know if they're lying or what.

edit: lol I forgot this was the device you mentioned in the post.

It sounds like that device's driver got merged into the linux kernel.

Honestly it probably works lol.
