Problems configuring my usb ac051 wifi adapter
I just bought this usb ac051 wifi adapter because my wireless wifi stopped working presumably because something inside the computer related to the wifi broke.
I followed the instructions and used tar to extract the folder containing all the files I need to edit.
I am stuck because I have no idea where I am supposed to download the kernel source code in the included link.And the rest of the instructions make little sense to me and I keep on getting all kind of annoying errors when trying the rest of the commands that do make sense. I can't list my errors right now because I am so exhausted right now after sitting here for hours trying to make my adapter work. Please help!!!. This is what I found when I typed lsusb

Let's start by identifying your exact USB device. Please edit your question to add the result of the terminal command:lsusbWelcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Please see my answer here: askubuntu.com/questions/1083281/… Frankly, I doubt that it will ever work. Can you return the device? Sorry for the discouraging reply.

Everything was fine until the last step with sudo insmod when it says could not insert module mt7510u.ko unknown symbol in module

For now the solution is
sudo apt install git build-essential
git clone https://github.com/ulli-kroll/mt7610u.git
cd mt7610u
make
sudo make installfw
sudo cp mt7610u.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo depmod -a
make cleanWhen a kernel update occurs you will need to recompile
cd mt7610u
make
sudo cp mt7610u.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo depmod -aReboot
I have forked the ulli-kroll github and will work on a dkms solution when I have time. DKMS will automatically compile the module when a new kernel is installed
DKMS Support:
For those who have already downloaded from the ulli-kroll github do
rm -rf mt7610uFor new users and ones that have deleted the existing mt7610u directory in /home
sudo apt install git dkms build-essential
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/mt7610u.git
sudo dkms add ./mt7610u
sudo dkms install mt7610/1
cd mt7610u
sudo make installfwReboot and check BIOS to make sure Secure Boot is disabled.
