Ultimate Edition Forum

I have a Belkin F9L 1101v2 usb dongle to connect to the modem which I can't get to work. I have tried installing the driver several times and get the same error message asking if ndiswrapper is installed. I have checked in the packet manager and it says it is.

I am a real newbie when it comes to Linux (though I was a member of this forum a long time ago but can't remember my password and the email address I was using no longer exists.) so I will be greatful of any advice.

Try and compile the linux driver:

Open terminal.

Become root user:

Code: Select all

sudo su

-- enter password.

Download driver from github:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8192du.git

Note: if you get error like "command: git not found", install git as per the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install git

Once you have downloaded your driver, do the following:

Code: Select all

cd rtl8192du

Code: Select all

make

Code: Select all

make install

Code: Select all

modprobe 8192du

Reboot!
Device should work.

Thank you so much for your help. Followed the instructions and It works now.
