[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

The forum was not working well yesterday so I didn't manage to respond by then.

There is indeed no native Linux driver for this device, you were right to add the .inf file in Windows Wireless Drivers. Please install the ndiswrapper-dkms package from Software Manager, then it should work.

If not please post the output of inxi -N and sudo mintwifi.

Then please run this:

Code: Select all

sudo ndiswrapper -l
Do you already have ndiswrapper-dkms installed in Software Manager?
