My [Linksys WUSB6400M] Wifi USB adapter for my desktop won't connect to wifi because I suspect it needs driver installation. When I type lusb into the terminal, it shows Bus 008 Device 003: ID 13b1:0043 Linksys.
I plan to connect an Ethernet cable and try methods I found on the internet such as installing B43 firmware and installing the driver for a Linksys WUSB6300 since the two models sound similar. Does anyone have any suggestions or know how to install the correct driver for my 6400M so I can connect to wifi. Also I'm running Lubuntu 18.04
1st Edit: Well, I've tried both of those methods and they didn't work
2nd Edit: I'm convinced the drivers don't exist and have given up.
