If you want the simplest solution for desktop WiFi, buy an Edimax PCI card from Newegg for $19.99. Linux has built-in driver support for that card’s chipset. It is literal plug and play, no drivers to install. I have installed several of them. The card is also Windows XP compatible on dual-boot machines. If I can do it, even a caveman could.

That's funny,...you have to download specific drivers for Windows 7...but Linux Mint kicks it right into gear!

....no download needed...
