rtl88x2ce-dkms VS 88x2bu

Do you really want to use Debian? https://github.com/juanro49/rtl88x2ce-dkms

Okay solved it, for anyone having the same issue, I installed this https://github.com/juanro49/rtl88x2ce-dkms and when I reboot I had to do "sudo modprobe rtl88x2ce" so the way to solve it was to "echo rtl88x2ce > /etc/modules-load.d/rtl88x2ce.conf" and this gets executed whenever you reboot, but I had another line in a file /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf that said "blacklist rtl88x2ce" so this wasn't executing at start, in case you need more help this was where I got the things from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/71064/systemd-automate-modprobe-command-at-boot-time

If you're still looking towards fedora or the linux mint drivers didn't work and you think you'll be fine compiling the drivers yourself and fixing issues that may arise then I'd recommend looking at this other project that seems to be more up to date and with proper instructions here, you'd have to follow the manual instructions indicated on the "desde codigo fuente" part. There are no guarantees that this will work flawlessly if at all, this is a solution the community came up with.

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.

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

I installed DKMS and this 88x2 github driver recommended by this post.

Device connects and functions properly in normal operation with the following driver: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu.git

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.

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.

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).

He'll have to compile the kernel module from scratch. Here's a git repository for the Realtek RTL8812BU and RTL8822BU driver: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu
