Basically find one that uses the ath9k Chipset. They are easily the best
supported Wifi Interface.

If you need Wireless AC then ath10k based products are useable too.

The Intel ranges are OK as clients, but are not really very Opensource.
Ath9k has the best Fully Opensource impementation out of any of the
Wireless cards.
