Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt worked for me on LINUX MINT 17 64 bit. And it makes makes my wireless modem work at both regular and 5G. You rock!
And for info, the driver I downloaded from ASUS's webpage appears to be identical to the one on the CD-ROM that came with the modem. So I just downloaded the patch and then followed your instructions except that I cd to my downloads folder and executed everything from there. Anyway, great stuff. You da man!
Thanks from me too! Confirmed that this works with a fresh install of Linux Mint 17, kernel version 3.13.0-24-generic.
