Edimax EW Dual-Band with linux mint 20.1

Post by LinuxEntdecker »

Hi
I'm new with Linux and this is my first time working with it.
I have succesful Installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on my Computer, but it dosen't get a WIFI signal or detect the USB-Adapter.
I'm using Edimax EW Dual Band WIFI and Bluetooth:
https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandi ... ew-7611ucb
It has a driver for Linux, but only for Fedora and Ubuntu:
https://www.edimax.com/edimax/download/ ... ew-7611ucb
and I have no idea how to install it.
Can anyone helb me? or should I look for an other wifi adapter, that works out of the box?

Thanks for your time.

Isn't that just an internet error, "can't access archive.ubuntu.com" ?

Edit:
It has a driver for Linux, but only for Fedora and Ubuntu:
Just FYI, generally Mint = Ubuntu, although the version numbers are different.

I downloaded that zip file; it has decent instructions but you're probably better off following sleeper12's method.
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?

That might do it, then try those first set of commands again.

Sorry for the long wait, my computer got damaged and i am using now my phone, so i can t show you the results of the last commands i tried, but they did t work. As soon i get my computer back, i will show you the results. I tried to contact the support of edimax and see if they could helb my but still no answear. I am also thinking about to buy a new adapter that will work out of the box. What do you think about the Panda Wireless N600 dual band PAU09, i alredy ask the support of Panda if it works with linuxmint and they said yes. Do you have any better recommendation? Let my know. Thanks for the help.

I've never used one, but have seen Panda mentioned favorably here before.

Hi there. I just want to report this solution worked for me! Thanks a lot!

For the sake of completeness, I specify I use Mint 20.2 with kernel 5.13.0-22, running on a Ryzen5 machine.
