As I said earlier, I've found a number of devices that do have the
connector, but the problem is that trying to figure out which driver
they use is a bit difficult...  It looks like the Hawking HWUN1 (run)
would work, but it's no longer sold..

I also noticed that many of the USB drivers are listed as supporting
only one virtual interface at a time, though run doesn't list that
limitation...  Does run support multiple wlan networks at once?

I was thinking of trying the lottery to see if I get a supported device,
but with only one USB chipset supporting the features I'd want, I
don't like my odds...
