The chipset.
Most of the chipsets are made by the same few companies and the Wi-Fi adapter is just rebranded to the company's name that sells the adapter. So basically when 1 chipset gets support or dropped a whole set of adapters become supported or become useless.
- kernel.org has a list of supported chipsets.
- Intel is always a good choice.
Pick a device driver/chipset from the 1st link and then google it to find brands that use that driver/chipset.
