rtl8821CU VS rtl8723du

As I've said this one (rtl8821cu) is a pita to setup. Try this instead https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.

it looks like the driver is identified as the 8821cu. this looks like the more up to date driver listed on that page and is recommended in some of the probes listed below: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU

Install the dkms driver from here: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU (I'm 99% certain this is the correct driver).

That means, it can work with libre Debian systems without proprietary firmware in /lib/firmware. I installed this driver : https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU. I was curious to where the proprietary firmware is, but I couldn't find a .bin file in the source code. Wonder if someone else more skilled than me can find it.

Then we are copying the code from the git repository (git clone https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git), and move into the directory it created (cd rtl8821CU).

It seems to not be available in the Fedora repos nor in RPMFusion. You can install it from here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du

The problem is these things have a the crappy rtl8723du WiFi chipset that isn't in the mainline Linux kernel yet — or so I've read. There is a GitHub repo for the rtl8723du chipset driver. I might be able to convince myself to make an ebuild and throw it into GURU at some point in the future. Until that time, can someone here suggest a USB WiFi dongle that works well in a modern Linux kernel and (ideally) isn't physically overly large?

it looks like there may be a driver you could try to install for your 8732du adapter: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du

The wifi driver she uses has to be downloaded and compiled from github: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du. She used a USB wifi adapter which worked seamlessly, but she wanted the USB port back so we went with the github option.

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential gitgit clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du.git -b v5.13.4cd rtl8723dumakesudo make installsudo modprobe -v 8723du

But I was thinking. If I installed everything I needed to boot the driver onto a flash-drive then just used the Linux terminal to install it from there? Bada bing bada boom the WiFi should work right? I have a GitHub repo for my exact card https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du is there a way to install git from a flash drive like I said earlier? I'd need git to run the repo, then I think it should work.

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du is the WiFi driver that worked for me. Put it on to an SD card and keep it there so you can install it each time you reboot. It's going to be a pain in the butt but I don't think the driver is going to get upstreamed anytime soon.
