Re: trying to install Netgear usb wireless adapter
I'm glad you didn't find the .inf files; we probably don't need them. Please open a terminal and run and post:If you find out that the usb.id is like this:
ID
0846:9040 NetGear, Inc.
Then your device is driven by the built-in driver ar9170usb AND carl9170. We will need to blacklist one and load the other and see which one does the job. Both require firmware. Back in the terminal and with the ethernet connected, please do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware
Finally, it could be that both drivers are loaded already and conflicting; let's check:Thanks.
