[Arm-netbook] ARM system with good wifi

AFAIK this is just another USB wifi adapter, just with higher power
ratings.  I'm already using an external (USB) wifi adapter in my
Mele-A2000 (to overcome the problems I have with the builtin adapter
which gives me typically about 100KB/s average with long periods of
0B/s, whereas an external adapter gives me about 800KB/s on average), so
this post is specifically about finding a system where I don't need to
skip the builtin adapter and use an external one.

FWIW I don't need super extra power: this is for use in a 2-bedroom
apartment, in your typical north american house where the structure is
all in wood.
