USB wifi adapters that we know work?

[ScottB]

I am a noob on a desktop - lenovo thinkcenter. I had no problems installing GhostBSD, automatically was online with ethernet cable, and was even able to get the sound working after reading the documentation just a little bit. My next step is to get a USB wifi adapter working. I tried getting a Realtek 8812BU working but no success. Is there another USB wifi adapter that I can buy that will work right out of the box ( ) or at least without too much trouble?
Or should I be able to get this Realtek working...
Thanks for any info. I am very new to BSD, and not even that familiar with Linux.

for me, this was plugging it in and it works

Dear RodMyers,

Yes, it worked, just like you said, right out of the box!!!
Thank you for your help.

I guess I spoke too soon. BSD recognized the wifi adapter right out of the box, but I am having some trouble configuring it.
When I go to the gui WiFi Networks Manager, I can see the connection and enter the password, but it isn't showing the signal, or it will show the signal when I first insert the usb adapter, but then for some reason it stops showing it...

I tried the command line and the BSD config and still not working right...
also tried to follow some RoboNuggie tutorial on youtube but most of the time I don't see the device from the sysctl net.wlan.conf command or ifconfig
which is wierd because the connection shows up in the GUI Network Manager...

Any thoughts are appreciated.

my configuration of the wlan1 card, edit as needed

#!/bin/sh

sudo ifconfig wlan1 inet 192.168.1.28 netmask 255.255.255.0
sudo route delete default ; sudo route add default 192.168.1.254
