Hello everyone.
Saw on Amazon USB Wireless (Wi-Fi) Adapter for $11

Amazon link

This USB adapter has an AR9271 chip, which means it's the same USB as the seller "Thinkpenguin", but 4-5 times cheaper and will work with all FSF distro.

Let us have a closer look at the reviews:

"Don't buy if you want atheros chip."
"It is not a AR9271 chip, its compatible with some distros, but not with FSF compliant ones."
"This is not an Atheros chipset. It is a Realtek."

It looks like you are advertising a scam.

I appreciate the effort, but it appears prospero is correct, so I have voted '-1' on the post.

I don't think it's your fault that the listing is bad. I'm not sure you could have known without the reviews, though the 600Mbps claim is a bit suspicious.

Wifi AC is also suspicious: this is not supported by this chipset.

This used to be available for us based customers, in fact I have 3 of these.

They are average quality, but they do work.

They use exactly what your amazon link doesn't use
