A6100 unable to install in ubuntu

Question

Hello the model version of the wifi adaptor is AC600 ... For some reason I can't install it in Ubuntu 20.0. A little background...Ubuntu on the computer doesn't have any wifi because it's disabled and there's no way to enable it. It's like on airplane mode and there's a switch that doesn't move from on to off or vice versa.&nbsp; That's why I bought the USB wifi adaptor thinking it might work to enable the wifi. The computer is an old Dell latitute laptop 2110. There's no CD drive but I tried using an external hard drive to run the installation disc. The installation disc doesn't install the programs. I tried looking for drivers on the Netgear website but there's none that work with Ubuntu. Any advice? Thanks.&nbsp;

There isn't official support for linux.&nbsp;you can try reading some google posts that got it working.&nbsp;https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com/2018/06/27/using-a-netgear-ac600-a6100-with-linux-successfully/https://askubuntu.com/questions/1027094/netgear-a6100-ac600-wifi-adapter-driverhttps://marcnu.github.io/2016-09-10/How-to-install-Netgear-A6100-USB-Wifi-adapter-on-Ubuntu-16.04/&nbsp;&nbsp;
