Hello, I’m looking for information about a USB C Wi-Fi dongle. I can’t find much online, but I’m interested in getting one for my MacBook Pro to maintain a Wi-Fi connection during Linux boot. I’ve tried various Broadcom drivers, but they don’t work. Do anyone know if someone has seen or purchased a USB C model?

I haven't found any genuine USB-C adapters yet. I recommend starting with a USB C to A adapter and then connecting the WiFi adapter to it. Apple devices typically use BC chipsets, so pick a compatible one first, then consider these options.

This would definitely be the worst scenario. I really don’t want to unplug and plug it in while moving around campus. With the adapter, it wouldn’t fit into the soft case or might bend in my backpack. I believe this shouldn’t be an issue for me, because I’d only use the adapter on Linux, which should work out of the box. The only proprietary part would be the Broadcom chip, and there’s no Linux support for that version.
