So....I am very new to Linux. I started with Ubuntu this weekend, and stumbled across the beautiful ElementaryOS and couldn't resist. I encountered the same issue with Ubuntu, but was able to resolve the issue thanks to https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210 and https://github.com/kaduke/Netgear-A6210 I've replicated the terminal process, and have encountered no obvious errors (again, I'm new, so I may be missing something), and the result is: WiFi is now at least recognized, however, there appear to be no networks in range. The process is as follows: git clone -b port-to-4.15 https://github.com/kaduke/Netgear-A6210 cd Netgear-A6210 make sudo make install No hiccups during the git/make process. sudo make install outputs: [sudo] password for seth: make -C /home/seth/Netgear-A6210/os/linux -f Makefile.6 install make[1]: Entering directory '/home/seth/Netgear-A6210/os/linux' rm -rf /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA mkdir -pv /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA mkdir: created directory '/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA' cp /home/seth/Netgear-A6210/conf/RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/. install -d /lib/modules/4.13.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ install -m 644 -c mt7662u_sta.ko /lib/modules/4.13.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ /sbin/depmod -a 4.13.0-43-generic I'm not exactly sure what I am seeing here, but no apparent errors seem to be present. Any help is sincerely appreciated! Update: Wireless interface was disabled, however, enabling does not solve the issue. seth@seth-MS-7A34:~$ sudo lshw -class network [sudo] password for seth: *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:21:00.0 logical name: enp33s0 version: 15 serial: 30:9c:23:27:de:00 size: 1Gbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full firmware=rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15 ip=192.168.1.223 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=1Gbit/s resources: irq:303 ioport:f000(size=256) memory:fe504000-fe504fff memory:fe500000-fe503fff *-network DISABLED description: Wireless interface physical id: 1 logical name: wlan0 capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=RALINK WLAN multicast=yes wireless=Ralink STA seth@seth-MS-7A34:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up seth@seth-MS-7A34:~$ sudo lshw -class network *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:21:00.0 logical name: enp33s0 version: 15 serial: 30:9c:23:27:de:00 size: 1Gbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full firmware=rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15 ip=192.168.1.223 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=1Gbit/s resources: irq:303 ioport:f000(size=256) memory:fe504000-fe504fff memory:fe500000-fe503fff *-network description: Wireless interface physical id: 1 logical name: wlan0 serial: 9c:3d:cf:f9:6a:2d capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=RALINK WLAN multicast=yes wireless=Ralink STA seth@seth-MS-7A34:~$
