Maybe the preferred Linux distro doesn't work with them. I had to use another distro for a while because Debian didn't immediately support the card, but there are apparently cases where the internal card just permanently wouldn't work (like in fully free software distros). I would rather replace the card inside the laptop than use a dongle, but idk if this can always be the answer.
