You're welcome to follow the instructions in this file. It explains how to use the project and its features. Let me know if you need help with anything specific!
What Linux version are you running and which Wi-Fi adapter is connected? If it's a widely used distribution, you likely won't need to build anything from scratch—just install the driver via their repositories. Otherwise, follow the guidance provided in the subsequent sections. The instructions after "II. Compile & Installation & uninstall" outline the necessary commands for execution.
You should avoid downloading anything from the manufacturer's site and instead use the drivers already in the Pop OS repositories. From the start menu, locate "Software & Updates," then proceed to "Additional drivers." Check if the system can automatically download and install them. If unsure, you can open a terminal and navigate to the folder where the files are saved (e.g., cd /some/directory/name). Execute each command from the readme step by step: cd /directory/that/contains/downloaded/files sudo make make install. Press Enter after each command and wait for completion. The first two steps should finish quickly, but the "make" command may take time to compile the driver. It could also fail if other installations are needed, often displaying unclear error messages.
Check the contents of the "RNX-N250…" folder. Look deeper into any subdirectory named "driver" or similar. Ensure a file named "Makefile" exists there, as it holds the make instructions for compiling the driver. The issue arises because "make" can't locate these files, causing it to fail and preventing successful installation.
Open your terminal and navigate to the directory containing the makefile. Then run the appropriate command for your system (e.g., `cd path/to/makefile && ./your-command`).
Typically, the process flips. You launch the terminal, then navigate with "cd /the/directory" until you reach your target. It's hard to tell the exact desktop setup (it seems to be Gnome), so if you're in Files, right-clicking usually opens it directly in the desired folder.
