I have an Aukey network adapter that says it will only work with Windows. But I have read that there are possible ways to get it working on Linux but none of them worked.

Can any of you guys help me get it working? (I am going to use Linux Mint 18 Sarah but I am testing it with a live image of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

I have the same Adapter; the AUKEY WF-R3.

My almost-working solution is to make and install the patched driver by xtknight: https://github.com/xtknight/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes

  1. Get the .zip (from the green Clone or download button at the link) somehow onto the connection-less device.
  2. Extract the files onto the desktop.
  3. Open the resulting folder, right click and choose Open in Terminal
  4. Type sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r).
  5. Type make clean.
  6. Then type, make.
  7. If that finished without errors, then the last step should be to type sudo make install.

That should work. For me, nothing showed up in the network manager. Here's an issue that I've opened for that reason; hopefully it will be resolved soon.

    You can use command substitution there linux-headers-$(uname -r)

  • Thanks @Zanna! That makes things much simpler—I had an inkling that could be done easier.
