WiFi adapter not recognised

Post by abdunnafialif »

Having some problems with the wifi adapter Tenda W311MI. It provides a driver for Linux which is available for downloading: https://www.tendacn.com/en/download/detail-2536.html
But I don't know how to do and what to do. According to the readme file, the driver is for Linux 2.4-2.6
So, maybe the downloaded driver will not work. :(

OS: Linux Mint Uma 20.2

If need be, first establish temporary internet connection for your computer by means of your cell phone.

Then please generate an overview of your system like this (with the WiFi adapter plugged in):

- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);

- Make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;

- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxpmrz
(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter, and don't omit the space after inxi!)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

Do the same with the following four commands:

Code: Select all

rfkill list all

Code: Select all

iwconfig

Code: Select all

lsusb

Code: Select all

lspci
