You are probably talking about devices that require non-free 
firmware?  Those are described here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch02s02.html.en

I'm not sure where you could get a list of devices that don't, but it 
would include devices from years ago that are not available anymore.

last few years require some kind of firmware to work on linux.

If you are interested in a particular device the debian wiki has a nice 
page about them with a "thumbs up" or little angry faces next to the 
non-free devices.

Why not check out https://www.thinkpenguin.com/ and go from there?

I need to buy another wireless card from them but this one will install 
in the computer since all cards they have available on the 5.0 band 
rather than the 2.4 band are internal pci cards.  I have an realtek usb 
adapter I think 8192 but it only runs on the 2.4 band and the 2.4 band 
is going away for internet communications in the United States in the 
not too distant future as a result of an F.C.C. decision.

Search your card here: https://cateee.net/lkddb/ .
If it's there, it should be supported by mainline kernel.

You might take a look at some of the Raspberry Pi sites. The RPis run
on a variation (recompiled for its non-Winders board) of Debian, and
there are a number of USB WiFi dongles that work with it, without any
added software.

IIRC, the one(s) from Plugable worked nicely.
