ESXi 6.0 and USB wireless cards

Hi
I'm looking for some information regarding the USB WLAN cards that works with ESXi 6.0
I have a few small PCs with 10-16GB of RAM but only with one 1GbE card and I'd like to use 2-3 WLAN adapters and create separate networks (without trunking Gigabit connection). Is there a list of supported WLAN cards for ESXi 6.0?
Or maybe there is a possibility to use USB-Ethernet adapter and connect the PCs via cable to switch?

What's wrong with WLAN with ESXi in home lab? I don't want to use it in production environment.
I just want to avoid the congestion on the one and only GbE interface and use the WLAN for heartbeat, terminal connection, management. The GbE connection will be used for storage and vMotion purposes.

The problem is reliability and support. Homelabbers that want to use wifi on their esxi host are not VMware's target audience so I am skeptical that will work.
Either way, good luck!
