Casting this to the wind: I'm looking for a small/cheap device that has WiFi and supports usb otg, aka "gadget mode". And is actually in-stock anywhere.
I'd normally opt for a pi-zero-w or pi4, but you can't get them for any reasonable price. And that's unlikely to change soon.
Outlandish suggestions encouraged. Alternatively, if a wifi thumb drive exists, point me to it.
Thanks kids.
@RickRae I have not yet, but I will. I suspect somewhere out there there's also a pico-w based board that will do what I want, but I haven't found it yet. I was also looking at esp32, but there's a zillion different options. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Thank you for the lead!

Have you looked at any of the NanoPi offerings? I run Pi-hole on a Neo3 and it's quite a capable little board. It's been Anazonable -- and relatively cheap -- throughout the RPi shortage. Armbian support is reasonable (they've dropped some of the older models but the community has stepped in).
Not recommending that specific model as it doesn't have WiFi, but others do -- maybe worth a look?
Or if a microcontroller will do what you need, maybe some of the ESP-32 offerings will fit?
