USB 802.11/AC adapter for Linux Mint

[doctormann]

Has anyone had any success finding and using a USB 802.11/AC network adapter on Linux?

 

Such adapters seem to be like hen's teeth.  Allegedly, there are some that work with earlier Linux kernels, prior to 4.0, but I can't find any that are 'guaranteed' to work with the 4.4.0 kernel that Mint 18.1 uses.  EDIMAX do an AC 1200 adapter but there may be no compatible rivers available for the newer Linux kernels.

 

So, I'm hoping that someone has been there and done that.  Any offers?

According to Tp-Link, Archer T9UH should work with  Linux kernel 2.6.18 ~ 4.4.6.
