Most of the 1cm WiFi dongles have a Realtek chip. The rtl819x
supports quite a few Realtek WiFi chipset
(https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/rtl819x).
I have bought a few on eBay for a couple of bucks each and they worked
out fine. The device is activated when plugged into an USB port
(ifconfig -a).
