[CGDoctor8]

I have been using @kaduke port-to-4.15 but recently broke for 4.18 for me

doctor@doctor ~/Documents/Netgear-A6210 $ make export DBGFLAGS

Same issue, I had to downgrade Linux as a workaround

[jafesellers]

I am having the same issue running 4.18.0 any ideas on how to fix it ?

[Dovahki]

@Mathisca Can you please tell me how did you downgrade it? I searched the web but could not find a tutorial. Sorry I am a beginner in Kali Linux. Thank you

[PranavMadanahalli]

@Dovahki did you ever successfully downgrade?

[Dovahki]

@PranavMadanahalli I could not whatsoever. However, I bought another adapter which costed me roughly 7 US dollars. It works perfectly and I did not have to even download or install anything. Just plug and play.

I just plugged in this Edimax N150 Wireless N Nano USB adapter on my ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and it worked perfectly.

Note, you do not need to downgrade or buy some Edimax adapter. Linux v5 has native support for the A6210's chipset, so you only need to stay up-to-date :)

Did someone get it working for latest ubuntu 18.04.2 which has kernel 4.18.0-15-generic ?
