Edimax EW-7611ULB 2 in 1 USB dongle is able to connect to both wifi and bluetooth. Upon my initial tests, I was able to use it through USB 1.0 to 2.0. Worked well through USB to Firewire Dongle, but had issues with USB 3.0 to 3.1.
Finding an adapter
- Browse to the WikiDev wireless adapter query page.
- Enter 'abgn+ac' in the
Supported 802dot11 protocolsfield. - Select 'linux_support' for the
Table query typeoption. - Click
Run query. - Scroll down to find a table of known abgn+ac wireless adapters with chipset, device ID, and probable Linux driver. The AC1200 adapters listed in the table will have Realtek RTL8812AU or Broadcom BCM43526 chipsets. The remaining adapters support data rates other than AC1200.
Finding a driver
- Realtek 8723/8812/8821 PCIe drivers are in Linux 3.17.8 and later.
- Intel's AC7260 PCIe driver is builtin the kernel. After reported problems with kernel 4.0.x, it is working well with kernel 4.1.x.
- The Realtek 8812au USB driver (kernel 3.10) is available from https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.
- The rtltek 8812au USB driver (kernel 4.3.14) is available from https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.
- Broadcom drivers are provided by the net-wireless/broadcom-sta package, but support of BCM4352 and BCM43526 devices is very unlikely. BCM43526 is not listed under 'SUPPORTED DEVICES' in the driver readme file. Using net-wireless/ndiswrapper and 32-bit Windows files may work, while 64-bit Windows files will not.

Notes
Drivers Edimax USB Devices
- The RTL8812AU driver will not install correctly if the USB adapter is plugged-in before the driver is installed.
- The RTL8812AU driver may not install correctly unless the kernel configuration enables some of the built-in Realtek wireless drivers (including those in staging) as modules.
- The RTL8812AU driver must be re-installed after every kernel update, even if the kernel version has not changed.
- The RTL8812AU driver requires the Linux wireless extensions (wext) driver.
- The RTL8812AU adapters listed in working devices support hot-plugging.
- BCM43526 adapters are USB 2.0 and have a 480 Mbit/s maximum data rate, therefore they cannot support the theoretical 867 Mbit/s data rate of 5 GHz channels.
- Depending on which driver is used, the following install script may have to be edited.
