I have plugged in USB 2.0 Wireless 802.11N Adapter in my Ubuntu 20.04LTS Desktop. I have got a driver disk with my purchased Adapter. It has a folder of Linux driver. I can't install it. So it is showing - No Wi-fi Adapter Found!

I have read their Release note: Check it here Release Note

It is showing it supports only
```
Linux (kernel 2.6.18 ~ 3.6.6)
```
But I have checked with uname -a command and found the following result:
```
Linux elliyaspc 5.4.0-38-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 8 14:14:24 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
```
From lsusb command -
```

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:c31c Logitech, Inc. Keyboard K120

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
```
After executing install.sh file, I am getting this errors:

Errors

I need to know - is it possible to install this Adapter in my PC? If yes, how?

Please help me.

  It is possible, but it is a wrong driver. This won't build. Please add output of usb-devices | awk '/c022/' RS= command.

  Hm. This is not the dongle. Was it inserted when you ran lsusb? Maybe that one 1005:b128? We need to find out what is the chip there.
