Hi
yeah, it's just a normal USB dongle, and it's supported by the Linux Kernel, that's why I tried it. I have tried other USB dongles with Linux before and failed.
This one was plug and play.

Thanks. Would you know what chipset that particular wifi-dongle is running?
A wifi-dongle may work, but I'm thinking it's not really desirable to
go
that way. I'm figuring the users will loose that dongle sooner than later! :-)
The laptop is in the car so I can't check at the moment, but this is the item.
I understand your concern regarding the users, but thet can't be any
worse
than mine, and they're capable of not losing their mouse dongle.
It would be nicer to get it working with the internal one at some point.
It would have helped to incluide the URL

Huh? Raspberry Pi-dongles work on off-the-shelf laptops too?

For the vast majority of laptops that are not based on the absolute latest chipsets, CentOS Linux 7 just works. There are sometimes issues with the latest Intel Graphics or the latest Intel CPU chipset. The latest kernel did get newer hardware drivers.
We also have an experimental kernel here that can be tried if you have a specific issue as well:
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/i386
(look at the .repo file for experimental kernel at the bottom of the page .. it works for i386 and x86_64 CentOS Linux 7 arches)

BTW, where are the kernel-headers for kernel-ml kernels which would be needed to install NVIDIA drivers from their web site?
Since the problem with the missing fence.h apparently has been fixed, we should be able to take advantage of the enhancements that this change (hopefully) has brought about.

kernel-ml is an elrepo thing .. they do have kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages. My experimental kernel also has kernel-headers and kernel-devel.

What would you consider be a tested and proven working, newish chipset?

its really the CPU now that matters, rather than the 'chipset', as most all the base IO devices are in the CPU (ethernet, sata, video).
I think Kaby Lake support is still a sketchy, thats Core gen 7. (i-7xxx).
I'm not sure what the state of Skylake is (gen 6)
Broadwell should be very solid at this point (5th gen), that was new in early 2015.
