| - | Which card to purchase is a hard question to answer. Each person's criteria is somewhat different, such as one may require 802.11n capability, or may require it to work via virtualization. However, having said that, if money is not a constraint then the following cards are considered the best in class: | + | Which card to purchase is a hard question to answer.

| + | Prior to this message, it can be seen that the device connected on a USB port with xhci_hcd, indicating USB 3.0. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This issue happens mostly in virtual machines, when the USB port is set to 3.0. To work around the issue, power off the virtual machine, edit USB settings of the VM and set it to 2.0. | ||
