Which model of USB Wi-Fi adapter are you using?

I'm getting a ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 AMD and am considering the following
adapters for initial wireless connectivity under OpenIndiana:

- Netgear WG111v3
- Alfa AWUS036H (genuine)
- Linksys WUSBF54G v1.1

Has anyone used these successfully with OpenIndiana? Do you happen to have
a favorite on USB dongle side?

Cheers!
