Wireless Lan Linux Driver installation failed

Post by pcfan5 »

Hi there, I have the same nano USB unit RT2870 (according to the driver), I cannot do what it is explained in the "readme" file that comes with a cd, as the person who post this in first place, since I am a standard linux user, I don't know how to program or write in files or run advanced commands in console. I also read this post is from 2015, maybe things have changed since then. The issue I have is that I get disconnected everytime.

Those results show no USB wireless device, perhaps try a different USB port
