found that it uses aMediaTek chipset, MT7612U (0846:9053)". It had a link to the Ubuntu forums which reported on the topic " Netgear AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi USB 3.0 Adapter" which is described as for "a model A6210. Over on our sister Ubuntu SE site I found this short question " is the Netgear-A6210 Wireless Adapter compatible with Linux?" which had the seemingly short answer No. What would be the next step in figuring this out? I saw something online about running wpa_nf and adding SSID and password there but I can't even get the device to show up in ifconfig.

I'm not entirely sure but it seems like the Zero is talking with the adapter just fine and it wouldn't be a driver issue, right? New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 New USB device found, idVendor=0846, idProduct=9053 I (pull the adapter out and then back in again and) check dmesg tail and I get: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg I type lsusb into the Terminal and sure enough, it lists Netgear:īus 001 Device 005: ID 0846:9053 NetGear, Inc. I check the service status to make sure it is up-it is. I open up Terminal and type in ifconfig but I only see lo.
No problem, I figured it wouldn't be OOB ready. I turn everything on but the wifi adapter isn't working. The 4-port USB hub is plugged into the USB port on the RPi Zero via an OTG adapter and I have an HDMI cable going from a monitor into the Zero. I researched my issue before I came here to ask and there wasn't one pertaining to my exact adapter or the things that I am experiencing on a RPi Zero.Īlright, now that that is out of the way, here is what I have for a physical layout: 5V 2A power supply to the PWR on the Zero, a 4-port USB hub that has a keyboard and mouse (separate, discrete devices) and the Netgear A6210 wifi adapter plugged into it.

I have used Linux as a user and as a SysAd in the past so I know how to navigate the file structure and I know a few things but don't expect me to have this incredible amount of knowledge. Now let me say this before anyone asks: I am not a Linux administrator. I've got everything powered up and connected but I'm having some issues getting the connection up and going. I had a wifi adapter lying around from about a year or so ago that I wasn't using on anything and I figured I could use it on the Zero.
I just got an RPi Zero the other day and I'm finally now just able to set down with it and get it working (been too busy with my new 3D printer).
