Switch USB Green AX900 from mass storage to Wlan:

sudo /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -KQ -v a69c -p 5723

  • Visit the official download page: https://www.lulian.cn/download/135.html

  • Download CM762-35264_USB无线网卡驱动_V1.3.zip. I renamed without chinese characters.

  • unzip CM762-35264_USB_V1.3.zip -d CM762

  • Install driver with:

    dpkg -i CM762-35264_USB_V1.3.deb

  • You also need to install the appropriate linux-headers:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

    before installing the driver if not already installed.

Restart computer and connect with Network Manager.

I got the same USB wifi Ugreen AX900 adapter and noticed the same. When I plugged it into my Linux machine it found the adapter as USB storage of about 3MB with the Windows installer on it.

I booted into Windows and ran the installer from the storage on the adapter.

Once I had run the installer the stick now appears as the WiFi adapter in both Windows and Linux.

It shows up as:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 368b:8d85 AICSemi AIC 8800D80

It looks like while running the Windows setup it does something to the adapter and switches it from a storage device to a WiFi adapter permanently, interesting.

Simply ejecting the "USB storage" with the drivers changes the device mode and it will be detected as a wlan device after that. This is also what the official driver does via a udev rule:

KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="a69c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5721",  SYMLINK+="aicudisk", RUN+="/usr/bin/eject /dev/%k"
KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="a69c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5723",  SYMLINK+="tendaudisk", RUN+="/usr/bin/eject /dev/%k"
KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="a69c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5724",  SYMLINK+="ugreenudisk", RUN+="/usr/bin/eject /dev/%k"
