I've found TP-Link products to be inexpensive and reliable

I'd generally agree, but like all consumer networking manufacturing, they'll change the hardware inside to suit their costs and not necessarily update the name or model number. If you're running ARM or a non-Intel Linux, that change in chipset — no matter how small (oh hai Realtek) — means the difference between a working network adaptor or a USB-attached ambient air-warmer.

So saying, I had a computer that worked solidly for many years using the cheapest TP-Link network card and (ack bleaah) NDISwrapper.
