Does anybody know how I can install a Netgear WNA1000M wifi adapter on Linux Mint 18.1?

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. Without knowing any details about what you have done/tried and what results you got, there's little we can tell you. Putting " Netgear WNA1000M wifi adapter on Linux mint" into Google pulls up numerous solutions:

...most of which are several years old, which typically indicates things have moved along since. Again, without knowing what you've done/tried, we can't guess as to tell you how to proceed.

And this isn't the same one from before:

...but certainly the same type of question.
