Software Roadmap - 0.3.1, 0.4.x, etc.
DDR:
ooo, if you could do that, that would be great. It would be great to have one known option, regardless of what happens. :)
NiNeff:
ok I now did the following:
Nuked my beloved ARCH installation and got Debian 7.11 working, which was surprisingly difficult.
While installing I was browsing around and found some interesting sites:
here compatible adapters are still for sale:
https://www.thinkpenguin.com/catalog/wireless-networking-gnulinux
and here you'll find a link to a huge number of WLAN adapters and their compatibility
http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_alles.php
I then managed to get the USB dongle to work, which required the "Non-free" Debian repos to be enabled and the installation of the "firmware-realtek" package. This had me confused for a while because the aforementioned website lists the chipset as Atheros and I was fooling around with the "firmware-atheros" package for way too long.
Also my laptop has an interal WiFi adapter, which I disabled using a hardware switch so I'm pretty sure I'm using the USB dongle instead.
TL,DR: The Netgear one works with some non-free packages.
DDR:
This looks like a gold mine! We'll have to see what's available in quantity, but it all looks very promising. :D
Thank you, NiNeff!
DDR:
Oh -- if anyone's curious about the gritty details, the UI is open-source. There's a commit log up at https://github.com/krontech/chronos-gui-2/commits/master, for example. :)

… That is an excellent suggestion. I've added it to the mockup for the new UI, so it should make it into 0.4.0.

Thank you DDR, that is a big deal in my case!
