It's a Ralink 5370 Wifi Dongle, and it worked straight out of the box - just plug in to Pi.  I set integrated wifi adapter OFF in System Config.
I found that the internal wifi was not totally reliable - perhaps location, or fact that Pi is cased with Allo Boss HAT.
Anyway, the wifi dongle has worked a treat.

Hi @kaushama
You could try googling "Mr Engman WiFi install".  He used to maintain (still does I think) a nice script to run on your Pi that would check the kernel, and the adapter to see if there was a suitable driver for whatever chipset variant it reported, and then install it for you. I used it a few times successfully in the past when using cheapo noname wifi adapters that I had laying around.  But, as pointed out above, if you have the already supported built-in wifi on your Pi - why not use that?
