Cisco AE3000 on Linux

[Veziax]

Hi,

I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my computer and then bought a Cisco AE3000 external usb network card. Could someone help me installing it on Linux?

you network card uses a RT3573 chipset. See if the drive here will work:

Thank you very much but I found that blog:

but I can't do the sixth step... Could you explain me please?

open a Counsel window to run those four lines.

it will recompile the system files to add support for the hardware

What is a Counsel? Sorry I'm a newbie in Linux

 

[Emerald]

it looks like a DOS window

 

[Veziax]

Is it the Terminal?

 

[Emerald]

yes

At the step 6 when I do

sudo make -j10

it gives me

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

and after I do

sudo make install

and it gives me :

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

After when I do

sudo depmod -a

it gives me nothing

And after I do

sudo modprobe -v rt3573sta

it gives me :

FATAL: Module rt3573sta not found.

I'm using Ubuntu's 13.04 terminal and I also tried with UxTerm

I finally got my Cisco AE3000 working thanks Emerald for the help 😉
