I got the Netgear AC 600 dongle a little while back and it didn't quite work. I found the following repository. I ran the install and it works. https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 Any feedback appreciated! $ lsusb ID 0846:9052 NetGear, Inc.

Social Tomorrow! Kupros 1217 21st Street Sacramento, CA 95811 06:30 PM to 09:00 PM When: Tue April 16, 2024 I saw Bill Kendrick just over a week ago and he commented that most traffic on lug-nuts seems to be me posting "Is this thing working?" Perhaps those are the most interesting messages? Brian -- Brian Lavender https://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.
