Asus PCE-N53 Disables on Startup

[DrPotato]

Howdy, I just started dual booting Windows with Mint a week ago, so I'm pretty new this sort of stuff. During the installation of the wireless adapter (ASUS PCE-N53), I ran into a few problems. I followed the instructions on this page: https://github.com/mareksuscak/asus-pce-n53-linux to install the wireless adapter.

However, it didn't go smoothly, but I found another post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/863391/ ... -ubuntu-16. Following the instructions of the top answer, I was able to get the PCE-N53 running.

The problem is that when I start up my computer, the wireless adapter gets disabled. I found a little work around using parts from the previous solution. I put the following commands into rc.local,

Code: Select all

sleep 5s
sudo ifconfig enp5s0 up
sleep 5s
sudo service network-manager restart

Moreover, sometimes, the previous commands fail, and I have to run:

Code: Select all

$ cd asus-pce-n53-linux
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe rt5592sta

My question is there a way to get enp5s0 enabled on startup without having rely on rc.local, or anything for that matter. Much thanks!

I'm on Cinnamon 18.2 64-bit.
