I just bought this usb ac051 wifi adapter because my wireless wifi stopped working presumably because something inside the computer related to the wifi broke.
I followed the instructions and used tar to extract the folder containing all the files I need to edit.
I am stuck because I have no idea where I am supposed to download the kernel source code in the included link.And the rest of the instructions make little sense to me and I keep on getting all kind of annoying errors when trying the rest of the commands that do make sense. I can't list my errors right now because I am so exhausted right now after sitting here for hours trying to make my adapter work. Please help!!!. This is what I found when I typed lsusb
