It was a couple of years ago when last installed a wireless card. At
first I tried a USB based one -- that was a no go. I had to go through
the tedious steps of determining what cards were most likely to work,
and then install it and confirm it had the supported chipsets.

As much as possible, I like to get used parts like this from people
that have already used them with Linux.
