Can't recognize WiFi Adapter

[bomjumaku]

I've read through probably 8 posts on this specific issue, but the solutions are usually specific to certain drivers.

I'm using some super-old hardware, which might be an issue. Here's some info:

The Adapter is an Edimax N150. The product code is EW-7611ULB. I can download drivers from their website, and I have taken the drivers off the install disc and put them on a flash drive, but I am lost from here forward.

Thanks for any help!

Hello, Bomjumaku!

    Welcome. I think you might find this useful:

It's probably a driver issue.

Hey that worked! Thank you!

    I had to skip the instructions which were specific to the raspberry pi, but other than that it was pretty straight forward.
