I am trying to install my new netgear wifi usb dongle AC1200 (A6150) on my Kubuntu 20.04.
More specifically my system setup:
mainline 1.0.18
Distribution: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Architecture: amd64
Running kernel: 5.19.17-051917-generic
The system can read the device via lsusb which reads as follows: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9055 NetGear, Inc. A6150
; however I cannot manage to install it properly nor know if I am using it.
Unfortunately where I live the internet is so bad it is barely workable with, so I hope that by stabilizing my connection I get minimal improvements. Please keep things simple as Linux is my hobby and I am an amateur but now I ended up with my personal laptop to work with.
HERE ARE SOME OUTPUT:
