Greetings,
I am currently running Bionic Puppy as a Live CD. I have not been able to get the NetGear AC600 Wireless AC Adapter working. It works fine in Windows 10. I was going to try the method of installing it using windows drivers but the install CD just has EXE files.
I have tried a couple of things I found online with no luck. I am currently connected to the router via an Ethernet cable which works fine but I would like to get this USB wireless device working before I give the computer to my daughter for use in her apartment.
Thanks for any ideas,
Doug

Re: NetGear AC600 Wireless AC Adapter
Which exact version of Bionicpup?
32 or 64 bit?
Yes. There is a difference.

Yes. There is a difference.
The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected
