Indeed i've a link somewhere to zender's file & adapter kits are easy
enough to get, i've a 4 year old netbook with an atheros wifi card that
i could scavenge. Debian stretch will probably have a driver/firmware
package for it, will have to look at just what spec the atheros card is.

There is a pause on filling webpages that i don't think is just down to
the age of machine & the ATi gfx card.
