USB wireless Netgear adapter Ubuntu 16.04
1
My netgear wireless adapter appears to be the same model as from this thread, but the steps didn't end up working out for me. No errors were given.
Note: This is the second attempt, so some files are already installed/updated. I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, I'm not used to the environment.
Here's the terminal after each step:
Note: I can't post more than 2 links, so I delete the http:// in front of the hits/gets.

The terminal didn't return anything to me for "sudo modprobe ndsiwrapper" The first time I ran it during step 10. Now I get "modprobe: FATAL: Module ndsiwrapper not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic" But I didn't redo all of the steps, do I need to? I edited dmesg grep ndis into the bottom of my main, also ran without redoing the steps. Gonna have to go to work in a few minutes.

I would try again:sudo apt-get install --reinstall ndiswrapperand next:sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkmsand finally:sudo modprobe ndiswrapperAny errors, warnings, etc.?

Ah, sorry, I forgot I had my other adapter installed (Was trying to get it to work after giving up on this one) I reran dmesg | grep ndis and got a entirely different result. ndis modprbe ndiswrapper didn't return anything. I'll put the dmesg into edit 2) up above.

The terminal didn't return anything to me for "sudo modprobe ndsiwrapper" The first time I ran it during step 10. Now I get "modprobe: FATAL: Module ndsiwrapper not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic" But I didn't redo all of the steps, do I need to? I edited dmesg grep ndis into the bottom of my main, also ran without redoing the steps. Gonna have to go to work in a few minutes.

Ah, sorry, I forgot I had my other adapter installed (Was trying to get it to work after giving up on this one) I reran dmesg | grep ndis and got a entirely different result. ndis modprbe ndiswrapper didn't return anything. I'll put the dmesg into edit 2) up above.
