Xbox Wireless Adapter

How to get the Xbox Wireless Adapter to work with Linux

📅 Created: Jan 9, 2022

The Xbox One Wireless Adapter is not officially supported by Microsoft. We'll use an open-source custom linux driver to get it to work.

XOW ​

Xow is a free and open driver for linux and works really well in my experience.

To install it just follow the official installation instructions and compile it from source.

  1. Install required packages and dependencies:
bash
$ sudo dnf/apt install libusb libusb-devel gcc gcc-c++
  1. Build the project from source and install it on your system:
bash
$ git clone https://github.com/medusalix/xow
$ make BUILD=RELEASE
$ sudo make install
$ sudo systemctl enable xow
$ reboot
