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
