[18:20] <Towser> on Ubuntu mate I tried to install my drivers for my usb wifi dongle however the make wasn't successful and won't install. please see the terminal output at https://pastebin.com/0HDGh537 for details
[18:22] <Mekaneck> still, try asking on discord too if you haven't done so already
[18:23] <Mekaneck> not sure if the activity here increased
[18:43] <alkisg> Towser: these are too old, try these instead: https://github.com/morrownr/8812au
[18:44] <alkisg> But note that 8812au is an old chipset, are you sure that's the one you have? What's the output of lsusb | grep bda ?
