I bought the Netgear A6200 USB wireless adapter, and I used WINE to run the installer from the disk that came with the adapter, but it failed part way through. Is there any way to get this to work?

    So, after doing a little digging, I got it to work. You do get far enough in the install using WINE for this to work properly. Here are the steps: 1. Open the shell, and type in cd .wine 2. cd drive_c 3. cd Program Files (x86)/ 4. cd NETGEAR 5. cd A6200 6. cd Drivers 7. sudo diswrapper -i nameoffile .inf 8. sudo modprobe diswrapper 9. sudo ndiswrapper -m And that got it to work. Note: The adapter did NOT work until after the command sudo modprobe diswrapper

With Ubuntu 14.04 I did the following steps:



sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
wget www.mediafire.com/?od9wpw6ccrnyhaa
unzip A6200_Linux_drivers.zip
sudo ndisgtk


Then when ndisgtk is running, choose the file ending in "ing" that was unzipped. It should be bcmwlhigh5.inf. Once that is installed you can select a wifi network from the Network menu-bar item.

Solved with https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210 - plug your device out before the following commands:



git clone https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210
cd Netgear-A6210
make
sudo make install


If your device was plugged in before the above steps, unplug and re-attach, the OS will detect and you should see available Wifi hotspots

    The solutions I found, including the ones given here, did not work for me unfortunately. Seems to be some issues with newer kernels.



    However, I just found out what works for me. The following github repository contains many non-free and proprietary modules including one for the mt7662 chipset which is used in the Netgear A6200/A6210.



    Had to simply clone the repository in /lib/modules/ and modprobe mt76-usb and she now works like a charm. Hope this helps those who also had trouble overlooking this simple option.

                  The solutions I found, including the ones given here, did not work for me unfortunately. Seems to be some issues with newer kernels.



                  However, I just found out what works for me. The following github repository contains many non-free and proprietary modules including one for the mt7662 chipset which is used in the Netgear A6200/A6210.



                  Had to simply clone the repository in /lib/modules/ and modprobe mt76-usb and she now works like a charm. Hope this helps those who also had trouble overlooking this simple option.
