realtek rtl8811au wireless lan driver linux

The chipset is apparently realtek RTL8811AU (I got this by plugging it into my windows PC).īut make fails* - I also don't like the idea of having to re-do this every time linux updates.

I was hoping that I would just plug it in and get the drivers magically but no such luck. I haven't had much luck getting it to work. Initially I tried with my existing Netgear A6200 but was told that basically drivers don't exist and I would have to use windows drivers - which I didn't fancy so I bought one of these: I am having issues getting wifi working though. Thank you.I am setting up a pc running XUbuntu and so far it is going pretty well. As I mentioned, I don't know anything about Ubuntu yet besides opening the terminal and typing things so keep that in mind if you want to give me instructions. Only thing I know is that when I go to settings and then wifi options it tells me no adapter found and I don't get anything relevant in the network option either.

I might have succeeded in installing the drivers but need to do some other thing to finally get it working. I installed it yesterday and I'm trying to set it up. I've searched and written several commands on the terminal hoping that it fix my problem but none did. The system did suggest some drivers through the additional drivers option but it didn't seem to work. It came with a CD for the drivers that contains a folder called Linux which contains a install.sh file which I cannot execute by double clicking it or right clicking it or throwing it into the terminal (tells me that permission was denied).

I have the adapter mentioned in the title.
