Hi Tim
Did you get this problem sorted out? I, too have an acl3 dongle and just upgraded to SM1.5.9 and am having trouble executing the Brostrend command line. Did you contact Brostrend?

I didn’t. I’ve had problems in the past and gotten really good customer service from BrosTrend/TrendTech. I’ve tried them multiple times, and haven’t had received a single response this time. I ended up getting a new adapter.

The below may or may not help.
Info is taken from this thread

askubuntu.com/questions/732985/force-upd...-unsigned-repository

Note this is a generic override of all repositories at mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian and is not the best way to do this but may allow the install to happen.
As super user, edit using your favorite editor
/etc/apt/sources.list

Add the line
deb [trusted=yes] mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian buster main

And save the file.

Try the install again

Taking the public keys from the Ubuntu keyserver works.

discuss.freedombox.org/t/solved-buster-b...-raspberry-pi-1b/327

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver  keyserver.ubuntu.com  --recv-keys 04EE7237B7D453EC

To be repeated for each of the three key IDs that show up in the error message.

Thanks! Unfortunately it only solved half the problem. I'm getting this now:

I had an error that was a bit similar.  The TrendTech program was trying to build kernel modules for kernel version 5.10.52 but my Stellarmate was in 5.10.17.   Updated the packages (Menu-->System Tools-->Package Updater) and then everything went smoothly.  

What's your kernel version? ( uname -r )

You could also try to install the kernel headers (sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers )

I ran package updater. There was plenty that needed updating. 

My version is also 5.10.17. 

That command you suggested returns the following error:
E: Unable to locate package raspberrypi-kernel-headers

Regardless, I still got the same header error when I tried to install the TrendTech drivers again.

Hmmm...ok you should try 
1- sudo apt-get update
2- sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
3- run the TrendTech command to install the drivers

If this still fails, maybe there's a repository to point to (I remember I uncommented the "sources" repo in the /etc/apt/sources.list file - using midnight commander and its integrated editor that I had previously installed with sudo apt-get install mc and run with sudo mc.  Great little clone of Norton Commander from the good old days of Microsoft DOS ^^ )

BTW after all your updates are you still in 5.10.17 or have you moved up to 5.10.52?

I uncommented that line in the sources.list. It did something because the sudo update command showed a few more things happening than normal. However, I'm still getting the "Unable to locate package raspberrypi-kernel-headers" error when I run the install headers command. And I'm still on the .17 version. Thanks for trying to help.

Well, if apt can't get to those headers, neither will the install script from TrendTech.  One more thing I fiddled with is the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list file in which I think I uncommented the three repos.  Could you try uncommenting those, re-run a sudo apt-get update and then try again with the rasberrypi-kernel-headers (or go straight for the TrendTech install process which does the same thing at some point)?

Still no luck. If nothing else, I'm learning a little more about RPi than I thought I ever would. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I got another adapter that is actually working, so not all is lost. Hopefully it will perform well compared to the old one. And maybe this header install problem will randomly fix itself in a future update.

Probably best to let it rest indeed until a future update fixes things....I'm no Linux Guru but I don't mind fiddling around with it, which can sometimes have an adverse effect.  On a positive note : at least the public key issue was fixed :-).
