NetGear A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter install driver, how to?
 
I am getting ready to install slack using current dvd iso to usb stick, and am inquiring how to make and load a driver for a USB NetGear A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter so I can have wifi on that until I get a replacement M.2 whatever they are calling it mini card for my laptop -- china is sending me one

I've got something off git that worked for mx linux

would that also work in slack? rtl8812au-5.6.4.2
it is a
make
make install


2nd Q that I'm going to find out on my own in a minute.
AMD Ryzen™ 5 2500U Mobile Processor with Radeon™ Vega 8 Graphics (ideaPad 330s 15ARR)
noapic on boot should get the install running?

I use that driver in all 4 of my systems and I install it with dkms without a hitch. I did have to patch on one system that I'm trying kernel 5.6-rc.
Does slackware have dkms? It does install without dkms and I can't be sure but I can't see a reason why it wouldn't install on slackware.
Did you download the gordboy version from git?

I don't know off the top of my head. I do know how I love how the usb stick boots up installs then going to boot fresh install then kernel panic now nothing works game...

got a chroot again and see what this install grub efi thing.
can that be down with two different Distros? mx linux chroot to slack and install efi grub? because it looked to work in the terminal and nope. I need to figure out what pharams too add noapic must be something more after install.. als0...
