I'm trying to use my USB AX900 (Model CM762) Wi-Fi dongle with a Lenovo m720e. I downloaded and installed the necessary drivers, and the device is recognized by the OS when I run `lsusb`. However, I can't find any option to connect to the internet wirelessly in the settings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working on ZorinOS?

Definitely a good idea to share details like your distro and any specific error messages when asking for help! Have you checked the kernel documentation for your Wi-Fi dongle? There are a lot of resources out there that might help, such as https://wireless.docs.kernel.org.
I understand your frustration! I tried mode switching but still faced issues. Just a heads-up, in my experience, trying to brute force the drivers can mess things up. If you run into kernel issues, you might need to consider reinstalling your OS. It's a tough lesson learned!
It seems like your dongle might be stuck in mass storage mode. You can try using `sudo /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -KQ -v a69c -p 5723` to switch it to Wi-Fi adapter mode. After running that, make sure to install the driver again. Check if it's specifically for Linux, as there are different versions for Windows and Linux users.
