DLink N150 DWA 127 Ubuntu 15.10 - wyldckat/wyldckat.github.io GitHub Wiki

Introduction

Got a Wireless USB adapter, a D-Link N 150 High-Gain, model DWA-127 B1. Problem is that Ubuntu 15.10 has Linux kernel 4.2.0, which is missing the firmware for this adapter. The trick is to build and install said firmware.

  • Side note: Or get the latest kernel from Ubuntu's mainline PPA, but that's not going to work all that well if I don't have Internet access.

    sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential
    git clone https://github.com/porjo/mt7601
    cd mt7601/src/
    make
    sudo mv mcu/bin/MT7601.bin /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin

And reboot.
