Parrot is not reading my Nineplus AC1800 Mediatek MT7961 wireless adapter.

– I recently bought the wifi adapter listed in the title (Nineplus AC1800 Mediatek MT7961) only AFTER I researched the specific adapter and saw that many people have been able to run it on a plethora of different Linux OS. I can get it to work on my Windows side, but the Parrot boot is another story. I’ve installed the drivers from the flash drive that came with it on Windows, and I also followed directions from several different posts to install them for Linux. I’m currently using a Lenovo Ideapad 330S, and dualbooting Parrot and Windows 11. I saw another post about having to change some BIOS settings if dual-booting Win/Linux and using VMs. I’m not using a VM (although it’s not read even using a VM on the Windows side,) I’m using an actual install of Parrot.–

That was probably to disable Secure boot and quick start, although many new releases are now secure boot compatible, I personally still disable it.
Check in the connections’ manager that wi-fi is enabled,
If not is the wi-fi being seen by parrot? Run from terminal inxi -Nn and see if it’s on the report, if yes and it says no driver…
First check for hard block [flight mode on] sometimes a machine will install with hard block on.
if not hard block pull the usb wait 10 seconds and put back in a different socket
has it now been recognised/is it working?
