I just switched my laptop off of Windows 10 onto Ubuntu 16.04 and my internal wlan device no longer works! I went on a Ubuntu help IRC last night and was essentially told the the Broadcom device inside is quite difficult to fanangle into working on Ubuntu. So I went and bought a WLAN Dongle which I was under the impression would work as before I purchased it I found this guide on how to get it working - great! Well, I walked my way through the installation process and got the the very last step which is $ sudo modprobe 8812au
and I get an error. That error is: mobprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8812au': Required key not available
. I have no idea how to fix this. When I cd into the dir that I git-cloned earlier on in the steps I see 6 different files that include 8812au
in their names.
When I have it plugged in and execute lsusb
it does display.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! If you need any other information please let me know.
