Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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
