WiFi dongle for Linux setup
WiFi dongle for Linux setup
You've made the switch to Linux and are using a Wi-Fi dongle that handles data quickly but struggles with latency. You're also trying a Windows adapter and have searched extensively without success, even checking GitHub for drivers. The correct driver you find often results in the system defaulting to Linux, which is convenient. If you need further assistance, please let me know.
It looks like this will likely be my only contribution since I’m offline. Could you clarify the operating system and kernel version you’re using? Also, have you verified that build-essential and the kernel headers are installed for your specific release? As mentioned, if no built-in drivers exist, it might be better to use the GitHub versions rather than manufacturer ones, which tend to be outdated. Referring to the blog post you shared, it seems you may need to edit a few header files—this feels like an older approach compared to recent driver updates on most distros. Also, if it functions now, double-check that latency issues are truly driver-related and not due to other factors. A note: checking dmesg can reveal more details about your system and any problems. Good luck!
Regardless of what I attempt, it still displays that error. Let me explain what it means and how to resolve it.
From what I gathered from your previous screen, it seems someone likely made a significant error in the code I intended to test. On an Ubuntu 16.04.3 server with the 4.4 kernel, I successfully built the project in roughly five minutes on a single core using standard commands similar to those listed online. The output of `lsb_release -a uname -a` suggests a different system configuration compared to yours.
xuxu@xuxu:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial
The ndiswrapper setup is quite outdated and likely unnecessary for most systems today. Since your environment is very similar, I recommend testing the build commands to check for a .ko file or any unusual errors.
