Tried to update the driver through Windows, it says it's up to date. I'm at a loss at this point. The only thing I can think of, is Linksys hasn't released a driver to fix the issue, but was wondering if anyone else had the same issue as I am. The Linksys AE6000 is a nice little wireless AC adapter that you can purchase from places like Fred Meyers or Best Buy. It’s not too expensive for what it offers. 30 Comments on “ Linksys AE6000 wireless AC USB adapter in Linux ” Emily April 13. Make AE6000 driver support 5GHz normally.

. The Linksys AE6000 is a nice little wireless AC adapter that you can purchase from places like Fred Meyers or Best Buy. It’s not too expensive for what it offers. The speed is decent too. The problem, once again, comes down to Cisco not offering driver support for Linux. Luckily and linked to some drivers that you can compile.
Because I didn’t have internet access when I performed his steps, I decided to skip the git part and simply link to the compressed file. You can download this tar file to a USB drive and copy it to the computer with the AE6000 wifi dongle. Once the file has been copied, extract it to a folder in your user directory and run the following commands to install the driver. Cd mediatekmt7610ustadriverlinux-64bit make clean make sudo make install Now that this is installed, simply connect the AE6000 to a USB port and connect to your wireless network! No one else seems to have encountered this, but the compile fails for me.
This is a fresh 16.10 installation for dual boot with Win10, and I am trying to get the excellent AE6000 up and running. I get multiple compile errors, the first of which is an incompatible pointer error. If I fix it, I run into another, and then another, etc. I eventually hit one which can’t be resolved by a simple type modification, or cast. I have done all steps recommended by the (more involved) AskUbuntu thread, and tried 3 separate sources for the code, and nothing changes.
So it seems there are some compiler switches missing, or something. I am a 34yr oldp smart techie that’s new to Linux and trying to learn. I’ve installed a dual boot Win10/Mint 18.1. I copied the file to my Download folder and extracted it there. On the mediatek folder I selected: Actions: Open Terminal Here. Then I entered the above commands. The make command gives a ‘fatal error: studio.h: no such file or directory’ I don’t know if this has something to do with me needing owner permissions or if I have placed the folder in the wrong location.
When I try to place the folder in the root usr folder, as it mentions in the directions above, i still get the same error. After trying to build the driver using git, which failed with an unresolved reference, I decided to follow your method. The process seemed to proceed smoothly, until I got a series of compilation error ending in failed make. Here I should mention that I was using Inspiron 1100 which is a 32 bit machine. I hate to ask this but I suck at life when it comes to Linux. I have always been around dos, windows, and apple pcs most of my life more so the microsoft end of things. So I downloaded the archive, and I have tried copping the files in my home directory, and downloads but I have no idea what the terminal codes are in reference to.
I get an error every time. How would I use the above code if say the folder “mediatekmt7610ustadriverlinux-64bit” was placed on my desktop? I am running Ubuntu 17.10 64Bit edition, at least till I go nuts & reinstall Windows 10.
Thanks for the help!
