Same here :+1:
I would also like to say thank you to @jurobystricky for providing this driver. I have it working on Arch Linux, kernel version 4.5.4 with a NetGear A6210 dongle. Signal strength is a little poor compared to my laptop's built-in wireless card (Intel PRO 3945), but hey, it works and is much faster than my Intel card ever was.
I had a little trouble compiling at first but quickly realized that I didn't have linux-headers installed. Oops.
I noticed that this driver is nowhere to be found in the AUR (Arch User Repository) and I am thinking about creating a pkgbuild for this driver, something that would be a first-time thing for me... let's see if I can figure it out. If I do, I would like to ask @jurobystricky for permission to put it up on the AUR.
Once again, many thanks to @jurobystricky !
I'm using a Kali Linux VM. Just cloned the repository, ran make
, and make install
. Everything worked fine. The problem is that I'm not sure what to do now. Running ifconfig
still shows just lo
and eth0
. Is there something I'm missing?
@sabsowitz Have you tried to load the module using modprobe mt7662u_sta
?
Yeah you gotta load the module.
And you can add it to /etc/modules.conf
to make it start when you boot the computer
@witi83 @jadenPete Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. I hate being 'that guy,' and I knew I was missing the command to actually load the module. For whatever reason, I was having trouble finding that info.
The culprit may have been in "make install". Should be "sudo make install".
After unplugging the dongle and plugging it back in followed by a reboot, everything is working. Thanks for all of your help. I did notice one issue. I'm using a bridged connection Kali VM. I noticed that when I get my wireless usb running in Kali VM, I lose my wireless connection outside of the VM. Is this normal?
Nice mine netgear wnda3100v3 is working on ubuntu 16.04 thanks to your driver !
I have a Netgear WNDA3100v3 too!
It works with ASUS USB-AC55 on Ubuntu 16.04. Small issues:
@jdsmit60 I'm trying it on arch linux with kernel 4.8.13-1-ARCH
. My wireless adapter is netgear A6210 just like you. The wlan0
showed up by with no mac address. Have you tried it with the latest kernel?

I was having similar issues (no networks detected) running on Arch Linux Kernel 4.9.
First I thought it was a problem with the kernel version so I switched to the LTS version (4.4), it didn't work so I decided to use Netctl and its app wifi-menu (in place of NetworkManager and its nm-applet), this worked (didn't try to run it on Linux 4.9 though).
@ArnaudX
FWIW, I'm using this on Debian Stretch. The NM applet could not detect any Wi-Fi networks. I just chose the "Connect To Hidden Network" option and plugged in the name of the Wi-Fi network along with the password and I was able to succesfully connect and use the device.
First of all, I must say an emphatic thank you to @jurobystricky
A little Googling trying to find a driver for my new netgear N600 dongle brought me to this page, so I decided to give it a try. Driver compiled easily and quickly, a quick little
insmod
followed byip addr show
and bam, there'swlan0
. I click on the network icon in my panel, select my router, and it connects. It fumbles around a little at the beginning, but has been pretty stable since. So to report on my configuration that works:Gentoo Linux, kernel 3.18.9-gentoo, with a NETGEAR N600 WNDA3100 dongle
Thanks again for making my wireless adapter not useless!
