Problems configuring my usb ac051 wifi adapter
I just bought this usb ac051 wifi adapter because my wireless wifi stopped working presumably because something inside the computer related to the wifi broke.
I followed the instructions and used tar to extract the folder containing all the files I need to edit.
I am stuck because I have no idea where I am supposed to download the kernel source code in the included link.And the rest of the instructions make little sense to me and I keep on getting all kind of annoying errors when trying the rest of the commands that do make sense. I can't list my errors right now because I am so exhausted right now after sitting here for hours trying to make my adapter work. Please help!!!. This is what I found when I typed lsusb

Let's start by identifying your exact USB device. Please edit your question to add the result of the terminal command:lsusbWelcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Please see my answer here: askubuntu.com/questions/1083281/… Frankly, I doubt that it will ever work. Can you return the device? Sorry for the discouraging reply.

I would attempt askubuntu.com/a/1058790 as I. Think a few have it working

For now the solution is
sudo apt install git build-essential
git clone https://github.com/ulli-kroll/mt7610u.git
cd mt7610u
make
sudo make installfw
sudo cp mt7610u.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo depmod -a
make cleanWhen a kernel update occurs you will need to recompile
cd mt7610u
make
sudo cp mt7610u.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo depmod -aReboot
I have forked the ulli-kroll github and will work on a dkms solution when I have time. DKMS will automatically compile the module when a new kernel is installed
DKMS Support:
For those who have already downloaded from the ulli-kroll github do
rm -rf mt7610uFor new users and ones that have deleted the existing mt7610u directory in /home
sudo apt install git dkms build-essential
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/mt7610u.git
sudo dkms add ./mt7610u
sudo dkms install mt7610/1
cd mt7610u
sudo make installfwReboot and check BIOS to make sure Secure Boot is disabled.
