Asus USB-N13 Wireless-N Adapter

This is a USB wireless adapter that advertises itself has having 'Linux Support' on the box. However it is not 'plug'n'play' and can be a little tricky to get it working. (it does work, I'm using it to write this.

I got it to work by cobbling together instructions form a variety of threads on the ubuntu forums. There is some native support for the drivers but I ended up compiling a driver. This may not be necessary so first I will list the things I do know you need to do to get it to work, then show how to compile the driver if this does not work.

In a terminal:

1. sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/network_drivers.rules Then cut and paste the following line into it. Proof-read it and make sure it is all on one line. ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTR{idProduct}=="1784", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -qba rt2870sta"
2. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/network_drivers.conf Then cut and paste the following line into it. Proof-read it and make sure it is all on one line. ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTR{idProduct}=="1784", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -qba rt2870sta"

1. reboot
