I understand ... so in BC at time of writing this it would be 9:17PM, I may or may not have lost you for your night.
IIshould be able to just savesthem to the usb and download them to thw computrr like other drivers.
Not very likely, sorry. A lot of this is not just Plug and Play.
At this point, I do not even know what Linux Distribution you are using, is it Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 32-bit like Old Carpenter Guy?
I'll show you this video, and then you'll get some idea of what
might be involved. This was with a Realtek.
Questions -
1. Do you have access to Windows to do your work, that is are you dualbooting or is Linux the only OS on the laptop? (I am thinking of you getting your work done)
2.
I have already investigated and tried all the other solutions.
Can you tell us briefly what they were, so we are not running over ground you have already covered?
3. Can you copy and paste to here the outputs for the following commands at Terminal:
Code:
lsusb
AND
sudo lshw -C network
With the latter command, here is an example of output
You may get an output something like, but not exactly like this:
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6366 Alcor Micro Corp. Multi Flash Reader
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser
... and you can see we then have what we need.
We could also use the outputs for those commands,that I asked for earlier, you were working on pictures?
Cheers
