I could use some help compiling drivers for a WiFi adapter

[drpeppercan]

mokutil --sb-state
EFI variables are not supported on this system

I think it's not

See the wifi script link in my signature and post results

Ok.
I suppose I should plug the new USB WiFi adapter before running the script, right?

[drpeppercan]

Silly me!
I can't plug the new adapter for this, then I would disconnect

But here's my report: https://pastebin.com/WtpKKXMF
Btw, for whatever is worth, I went to the manufacturer's site. He has this ZIP file with an .sh file inside. That should be easier, right?

Plug the new adapter in and post results for

I have another one plugged at the moment. Should I plug the new one alongside it?

[jeremy31]

Yes, I would like to see the USB ID for that wifi

#3 is the old WiFi adapter, NetGear
#4 I believe is the mouse. I am not certain because the mouse doesn't have a brand printed.
But I found a screenshot (see attached img) of a similar USBs list, except that one does show at the end of the text line "optical mouse". So, chances are my mouse if made/sold, by Sunplus Innovation Tech too.

But I don't see where the Edup-Link Wifi adapter is. It is not showing a light, as the old one. But it does when it is with Windows 10.

Also, I just tried installing "ac6607 Linux.zip" , but it yielded this errors:

Don't try to install any more drivers, but do a

modprobe -c | grep -i 0bda | grep 0811

See what it shows for results
