First, you have to uninstall/remove the installed driver. Otherwise, the adapter may not be working. You may need to recompile and reinstall the existing driver whenever there is a kernel update. That's it! Once finished booting up, you should be able to make a Wi-Fi connection using our adapter via the Network Manager. Restart your RPi for the installed driver to take effect. Line #158 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI from n to y Line #110 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC from y to n We have to change it to ARM-based RPi (ARM-RPI) platform. The default setting is for Intel/AMD-based (I386-PC) platform. Modify the hardware platform in Makefile. Clone the open source driver from the GitHub repository. You need to check the installation one more time. You should be able to see a build/ folder with the 2nd command above. $ sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers Install the kernel headers, which is needed to compile the driver. This step is optional and you don't have to do it. Make sure your system is up-to-date and reboot if necessary after updated/upgraded. Open a Terminal program from your Raspbian OS. Make sure your RPi is able to access the Internet. Please do not include it with the command you typed. The '$' is just the prompt to indicate you're not the root user.
