Linux Driver Information:
The AWUS036AXML contains the Mediatek MT7921AUN chipset, which is supported by the Linux in-kernel driver, mt7921u, on most Linux distros running kernel v5.18 or later. This means that the AWUS036AXML should be plug'n'play as there will be no need to install a driver. Linux distros with kernels prior to version 5.18 are incompatible.
If you are still having issues we suggest the following:
Ensure your Linux installation is up to date by using your package manager to update to the latest available files. The commands or app used to do this can vary by distro so check your distro documentation or support forums for information on how to do this.
The following is a command line example for Debian based distros:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
The AXML driver, mt7921u, requires firmware files that are normally installed in your distro by your distro maintainers. For devices such as the AXML to function properly, the driver must be present in the kernel that is in use and the firmware files must be present in the distro. Your distro maintainers should install the firmware files and keep them current by updating the packages that contain the files. You can upgrade the files yourself by using the following guide:
