I had this ticket assigned to me because I think we should block on Feature #15131 before documenting that.
Right now I don’t feel like TL-WN722N (version 1.x) as our only option is a good thing to document because most likely users won’t be able to purchase it easly and might purchase instead newer versions that might not work.
I pushed a structural change that I think is important as well. See 871642e7f8.
Please don’t work on this again before I do.

Raising priority now that we know which adapters to document.

I wrote this yesterday already but it seems I didn’t press “Submit” or something…
Thanks for the very fast review!
See your commits 28b97313dc and bfc02ee9f8, it seems like you haven’t read mine d9005d78bd. When you’re doing your reviews, please make sure to always read the Git history, in addition to inspecting the diff. For example with git log -p origin/master..origin/doc/11683-broken-wifi
or similar.
I also clarified my intent in the code directly from now with 3b99467cfc.
And merged :)
