   Please read this BEFORE buying a USB WIFI for KisMAC

Not all USB WIFI will work! Please look carefully at the following list
FCC ID is a VERY good way to check that it will work 
Chipset type is PARAMOUNT 

FFC ID number can be checked either on the vendor website, on the manual, on the box, or on the USB WiFI. 
It looks like:  “FCC ID#  NDD957318S607”  On the Back of the USB.  It is NOT the MAC Address. 
The FCC ID # Assures you that nothing was changed in the Chipset. i.e the vendor keeping the name, outside shape and changing the inside without telling anyone. 

Below is the list of my preferred USB WIFI for KisMAC, ranked 1 to 4. I do not endorse nor guarantee those products. The following is based on my personal experience. 
The very details oriented reader (s)(?) of this site will notice that the FCC # is identical for all 4. Hence they will deduct that the “engine” is identical in the 4 rt73 below. Small changes are making it different (antenna, output, suction cup,)
Those 5 should work with no issues whatsoever
