If for some reason Linux does not automatically recognize this dongle, execute `sudo modprobe mt76x2u`
|
||||||
|
to manually load the driver. This dongle seems reliable with our latest drivers. If the dongle is unreliable,
|
||||||
|
create the file `/etc/modprobe.d/mt76.conf` with the following content:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
options mt76_usb disable_usb_sg=1
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Then reboot your machine. Also be sure to use a good USB cable with this dongle! I previously encountered
|
||||||
|
unreliable behavior with this dongle, which was caused by a bad USB 3.0 cable. So if you experience issues,
|
||||||
|
it may help to directly plug in the dongle without using a cable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using VirtualBox, make sure you enable USB3.0 so that the dongle gets recognized. See
|
||||||
|
[this issue](https://github.com/vanhoefm/fragattacks/issues/22) for details.

|
The AWUS036ACM internally uses a MT7612U chipset. There are now also dongles with a MT7612UN chipset that
|
||||||
|
are also reliable with our testing tool. An example is the [CSL Wireless Network Adaptor](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0873BNBD8?tag=modwiffir-20).
