zyxel NWD7605 wifi adapter linux driver troubles on linux mint 22

lemanboy

I recently installed linux mint on my pc and my zyxel wifi adapter is not working. I'm new to linux so i'm completely lost at what to do, i somewhat modified the install.sh file that came with the driver to actually make it executable in terminal in the folder with the following command: "sudo chmod +x install.sh". I then executed it (with the command: "sudo ./install.sh") and it returned an error stating that the file called drv_types.h does not exist. could anyone help me or offer me any assistance? I know the adapter works because when i boot into windows 11 and install the driver there it does work perfectly.

Hi @lemanboy

The NWD7605 wifi adapter supports Linux kernel V3.13 ~ 5.11. But the linux mint 22 is using kernel V 6.8. Which is not supported kernel.

Also, this WiFi adapter has reached its end of development status, so there will not a new driver.
