looking for a solution to an intermittent Netgear WNA1000 micro USB WiFi adapter I found this solution which I tried to apply. I got stuck at

Code: Select all

sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10
Error! Could not find module source directory.
Directory: /usr/src/8192cu-1.10 does not exist.

Turned out for whatever reason /usr/src/8192cu-1.10 was named /usr/src/8192cu-1.11
So renamed /usr/src/8192cu-1.11 to /usr/src/8192cu-1.10, completed the sequence and so far it seem to have resolved the problem.
I'm posting this as it may be of help for anyone who runs into the same problem.
