Re: wifi driver
Remove the adapter, then plug it back in again. Then run "dmesg" in the terminal (might need sudo or root on Debian). Copy and paste here in a code box the lines you see about and after at the end about the machine seeing a new usb device and trying to load a driver for it.

Oh, it's this thing: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_USB-N53_B1 It needs you to build a driver from source, because it's not in the kernel.

Re: wifi driver
Building a driver from source isn't something I've done before would I be better off getting a more compatible wifi adapter

Re: wifi driver
It's really easy to build most drivers. For this one, just follow the instructions here, four easy steps: https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210
You may need to install the packages build-essential and git first.

Do you have a Net connection on the target machine? If so, install module-assistant and run as root or with sudo:sunrat wrote:It's really easy to build most drivers. For this one, just follow the instructions here, four easy steps: https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210

You can also directly download a tarball of the source from the "Releases" link on github without messing with git, or a zip of the source by pressing the "Download" button. You can search these forums for "mt7612u" too, since other users have had the same device.

Re: wifi driver
I would just download it but I mentioned git as that's what the instructions on that Github page show. Easier than writing new instructions.stevepusser wrote:You can also directly download a tarball of the source from the "Releases" link on github without messing with git, or a zip of the source by pressing the "Download" button.

Re: wifi driver
Yeah...the build instructions assume the user has sudo enabled by default, which is not always the case in Debian. Don't want beginners to fall into that trap.

Re: wifi driver
ok i have followed the instructions on the git hub page i can now select a network but it shows no available networks what now?
Re: wifi driver
Hmm, debian 9.x.0 installer actually screws this thing up and puts the adapted to sleep while it shutdown after installation for some reason with the non-free firmware is of course needed.
Easiest way to fix it seemed to be reboot, bios/efi and put network adapter pxe/boot up once and reboot again and seems to work miracles after.
-edit-
o yeah, and seems to affect 64-bit systems only (with 9.6.0 + non-free).

Just fighting with this same issue here. Only solution/way I got the NIC to raise back up was to boot with network, wlan was working just ok with 4.9.0-8-amd64 hd-media kernel and 9.6+nonfree firmware iso through install.

Re: wifi driver
Are you talking about the exact same Mediatek mt-7612U wi-fi hardware that the OP hardware has, that we know already has no ready kernel driver and doesn't need any separate firmware package if you have to build that source yourself? If so, I can't make sense of what you're trying to say here.
