There is a driver available on git: You need root for this (sudo) as well as make, cmake and build-essentials! Open up a terminal and change to a directory you like to keep things tidied up. Do a git clone: sudo git clone 3. Change into subdirectory Netgear-A6210 cd Netgear-A6210 4. Sudo make install 6. Restart your computer However I am unable to get past step 4. I get an 'Error 2' to state that the Build directory cannot be found.
The NETGEAR A6210 WiFi USB Adapter connects your notebook or desktop. Note: If you are not connected to the Internet, the software cannot check for. Speed is everything. The A6210 USB WiFi Adapter supports the fastest internet everywhere you go. See why the NETGEAR AC1200 allows you to get more from a usb network adapter.
Is it possbile to use the driver on a Pi? Thanks in advance! There is a driver available on git: You need root for this (sudo) as well as make, cmake and build-essentials! Open up a terminal and change to a directory you like to keep things tidied up. Do a git clone: sudo git clone 3.

Is it possbile to use the driver on a Pi? Thanks in advance! The build error occurs because it needs a link to your Linux source. You can generate the link using command. Code: sudo ln -s /home/pi/src/linux /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build You will need to change directory /home/pi/src/linux to the directory where your Linux source/headers are stored.
MrEngman Thanks for the fast reply, As I am new to this, I don't know where to get the headers. Are the headers in the GitHub repositry I have downloaded or is there another download I need to run to get the correct headers?
Yes, set the link to where the source you got from github is stored. What kernel version are you using. It is possible if you downloaded the Linux source from github then it is probably the very latest version so may not be the version you need. You can check by looking at the first 3 or 4 lines in the Makefile in the linux source and this will show you the kernel version the source is for and you can compare that with the output of command uname -a. I have downloaded the driver you are trying to compile and have compiled it but I do not know if it will work as I do not have a wifi adapter that uses that driver. If you post the output of command uname -a I can compile it for the kernel version you are using and post it on Dropbox for you to download. When compiling it there are a large number of warnings but this also happens with some other drivers I have and they mostly work.
