I have bought a Wifi adapter which is Tenda AX300 (w311mi). But i can't able to run on my ubuntu machine due to lack of proper driver.
when i typed lsusb on my pc, it shows: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2604:0013 Tenda AIC8800DC
I have also tried one of the tutorial following enter link description here
But it didn't work. Chipset of this adapter is AIC8800. Thanks in advance.
Try in terminal
sudo apt install git build-essential
git clone https://github.com/lynxlikenation/aic8800.git
cd aic8800/drivers/aic8800
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -aCheck mokutil --sb as Secure Boot needs to be disabled for the module to work
I'm using this wifi adapter too and here's what I did.
You are using Tenda W311MI v6.0 hence you should download the driver for the v6.0 version here. There's a how-to-install documentation inside a PDF in the downloaded file but I'll explain my way below.
Plug in your wifi adapter. If your system recognized it as a USB, eject it from file explorer.
Extract the downloaded file and open the folder.
Open the x86 folder and install the .deb package inside it using command sudo dpkg -i w311miv6-pkg-v1.0.0-amd64.deb
Wait until the installation process is finished. The wifi should work without rebooting.
For additional information, I'm using Linux Mint 20.3 MATE.
If your USB WIFI is from TENDA, then just install driver (ax300-wifi-adapter-linux-driver.deb) from https://www.tendacn.com/download/detail-5294.html. After installed, reboot. It should be working. Good luck.
the driver support linux kernel 3.10-6.8 so you can downgrade to kernel 6.8 and it will work or use my fixed driver i already talk about the problem if you want to fix it yourself https://github.com/DIGITALMAN7/Tenda-AIC8800DC i used deepseek and chatgpt to do that my driver tested on kernel 6.11.5 so any upper version not sure it gonna work.
