Is there a problem with 13.x (or even 14) on this machine?  While 12.x 
is fully supported and will receive all security fixes, it won't see 
much in the way of new driver development.

If you need a stop-gap solution, I've had good experiences with Edimax 
USB WiFi dongles, e.g.: 
https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/in/wireless_adapters_n150/ew-7811un/. 
  I used them on a Lenovo until the native driver was developed, and on 
Macs with Broadcomm WiFi that's a pain if it works at all.
