While I have it working on Windows 10, it's my understanding that ndiswrapper cannot work with Windows 10 drivers, so I couldn't just copy those drivers. I tried disabling power management and ipv6, but neither improved the situation. But the connection to the internet seems to last for roughly half a second, and then it refuses to connect to any site whatsoever. Network Manager sees it, sees my wifi network, and after entering the password, it connects. When I plug it in, Linux Mint does see it, as lsusb returns, among other things,īus 002 Device 005: ID 13b1:000d Linksys WUSB54G v4 802.11g Adapter Īt first, I just plugged it in, and the kernel loaded the rt2500usb module.

I was eventually able to in Windows 10, but Linux Mint has proved to be quite stubborn. However, I did find an old Linksys WUSB54G v4 USB wifi adapter in my attic, so I hoped I could get it working. Now, I can't use ethernet for my desktop, and it's old enough that it didn't come with a wireless card built in, thus no internet at all for it at the moment. Unfortunately, I had to move my router to the other side of the house after upgrading from using coax cable to get internet to fiber optic.

I've been struggling to get this device to work in Linux Mint 20 64-bit.
