Anon before you starting fucking around with instructions on Ubuntu 16, Ubuntu 19 will out in another month.
Run
apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
let's have a look at the instructions.
Run lsusb to get the device's identifying numbers. Replace each instance of 1C9E and 9605 below with the correct values for the device on your system, as revealed in this step.
But maybe it's not a usb device so get output from lspci instead.
I'm not sure what those identifying numbers are going to be on your machine anon because I don't have this machine or problems.
