Wifi Dongle Drivers - ye-ma - 09-16-2016
Hi everyone,
I know there are loads of threads on this but I can never seem to be able to find a proper answer. I have a Wifi adapter that isn't recognized by the system, going to the driver manager shows an unknown piece of hardware (which I believe is a red herring, a random motherboard driver that does nothing for the Wifi problem). It came with a CD-ROM with a driver on it but I haven't a clue what terminal commands are used to install it. The output for the lsusb command is;
Code:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

This isn't helping. You should supply the make and model number of the wifi adapter.

Hi,
Sorry, it is a BrosTrend AC600 Dual Band, Model No WNA016
Thanks.
Re: Wifi Dongle Drivers - torreydale - 09-16-2016
The system requirement is for Windows. So it appears there's no Linux support.

Hi,
It claims to have Linux support, and as I say it came with a CD-ROM with a driver on it, but no instructions for installing it.
Thanks.

Then you should contact their support folks for help on that at [email protected]. It looks like you'll have to compile the driver.
