    The problem is these things have a the crappy rtl8723du WiFi chipset that isn't in the mainline Linux kernel yet — or so I've read. There is a GitHub repo for the rtl8723du chipset driver. I might be able to convince myself to make an ebuild and throw it into GURU at some point in the future. Until that time, can someone here suggest a USB WiFi dongle that works well in a modern Linux kernel and (ideally) isn't physically overly large?

    Honestly, as has been described by others, if you've already got the hardware and there's a DKMS module just use or wrap that; it's not like a kernel module ebuild is terribly complex.
