And the takeaway for me is that 40 MHz channels on 2.4Ghz are at best a stopap measure and I really need to get a 5 Ghz donge onto the Linux desktop, but nobody can tell me whether the dongle will work :)
Which Dongle? I just put a Netgear AC600 Adaptor (Stock number A6100-10000S) which is compatible with the 802.11N spec , 2.4 and 5ghz band, into a Ubuntu machine and its working very well. However I had to download and build the driver (the chipset is rtl8812AU, and ubuntu didn't have a driver that would work). https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git It built ok, after I told the compiler not to fret about 2 warning messages it was interpreting as errors. So if you can find a distro that has drivers its a nice dongle. If you have to build it, its doable. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
