Installing Wifi Adapter Drivers Anonymous 2017-09-04 09:27:48 Post No. 62255379 [Report]

Hi /g/, I'm not sure if this is the right board or not. I'm trying to install Antergos Linux on my PC, but can't do so because my Wifi adapter doesn't have the proper drivers installed. I have the drivers on a Flash Drive, but they are a .exe file which Linux doesn't support. I can't install Wine either because no wifi. How could I go about installing the drivers if I don't have Wine? Also, can't use ethernet because of PC location.

Hi

Going with a wifi dongle that isn't immediately recognized in your system might be a tough road to take. If it were me, I'd just get a different one of a more common brand (D-Link, TP Link etc)

Is it a desktop? It may honestly be in your best interest to spend the ~$20-$30 on a PCIe WLAN card that has confirmed support.

AC600 has drivers but you need to install them through the AUR and you need internet access. So take your drive and put it in another computer, install them and then put it back..

Also you may have to edit the files. There's no way I am going to help you with this or anyone else, so buy a support wifi adapter

have you tried searching google for the model number/name and looking for linux drivers? find out what chipset it's using. If you can do that then finding a linux driver for it will be easy.

use lsusb
