I've been wanting to migrate to Linux and bought this wifi adapter since it was supported. Was able to figure out how to install Mint 18.3 on RAID1 so felt very accomplished! Not even a half hour later, I updated to kernel 4.16 via the Update Manager and it killed my wifi so accomplished feeling gone.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of what to check, possibilities I could try? I luckily ran a Timeshift backup so just restored, but would like to understand how I can upgrade to 4.16 and have my wifi.
If it's not too much of a noob question - do only the supported kernels show up in Update Manager? Ok yeah I'm a noob
