    Settup of a Rosewell RNX-AC1900PCE wifi card

    I just got a Rosewell RNX-AC1900PCE wifi card from amazon for my new desktop. I've looked with no success finding the necessary driver. Could anyone tell me the link to the driver with instructions on how to install it for Ubuntu 14.04? A couple of the reviews on it said it worked with Ubuntu so it should be possible to get it working.

    Thank you in advance!

    Let's start by identifying the device. Please open a terminal and run and post:
    Code:
    lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2
    Thanks.

    What is your kernel version?
    Code:
    uname -r
    I am not sure it is even possible to get it going in 14.04. If you have an ethernet connection, you might try:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
    If you have the installation USB or DVD, we can get the drivers there.

    The kernel is 3.19.0-68-generic.

    I do not have a ethernet connection without moving everything to another room so I'll try that soon. It did come with an instillation cd but it is the micro type and my pc can only take the full size. Is there a way to take the necessary stuff off the dvd and put it in a different computer to put it on a usb? Also if necessary I would update to 16.04 to get it to work.

    Edit:
    After looking at the dvd in another computer all the drivers are for windows.
