  • USB network adapter drivers uninstalled every OS update

    I use an Archer T3U to use wifi off of my desktop machine. It doesn't have a linux native driver, but this one works for me so far.
  • Cant connect to wifi

    I use this driver instead, but I think it all comes down to what does your wifi card need. You can download the driver in another computer and then pass it with a usb stick or, connect through your mobile phone via tethering and then download the driver directly in your computer

    Device connects and functions properly in normal operation with the following driver: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu.git
  • My experience with HoloISO
    2 projects | /r/holoiso | 12 Oct 2022
    My original rEFInd configuration got overwritten by the non-graphical GRUB from HoloISO. However, I was still able to boot into all OSes. I went ahead and booted into SteamOS to test. My WIFI dongle was dead, so I used my phone in USB tether mode to have internet access. I downloaded the drivers for my WIFI dongle from my usual source off Github (https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu). I booted back into Ubuntu and re-installed rEFInd so I can have the GUI OS selector.
  • Are there any drivers for Realtek Wireless 8122BU?
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 7 Mar 2022
    Seems like you have to use a third-party driver from github. Probably this one. Carefully read the instructions. Also you should install additional firmware for your card. Good luck.
  • anyone using AC wireless USB dongle?
    1 project | /r/debian | 21 Nov 2021
    I use the TP Link Archer T3U which has an RTL8812BU WiFi chip. The driver can be found at https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu but needs to be compiled (instructions are at the web page itself).
