A6100 unable to install in ubuntu
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. 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.
