Hi

I just got the Single board computer conga IA3. It has a intel Atom E3826 processor and I am going to run Linux in this single board computer, specially Ubuntu. I want to add wifi in this board so I would like to know what is the best option. A USB wifi dongle or a wifi module connected via UART port of the board?

Best regards

Javier
