Ubuntu 20-04 on Parallels (M1 Mac) rtl8812au driver issue

[billkent]

Hi all, new Ubuntu user so apologies for the ignorance. I have the Linksys AC1200 usb wireless adapter which is running the rtl8812au chipset. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 within Parallels VM on a M1 Mac. I have installed and updated Ubuntu. I downloaded the rtl8812au driver package from GitHub, installed it and here is the results of my lsusb commandlsusbBus 003 Device 003: ID 203a:fffb Parallels Virtual Keyboard

With the adapter plugged in, here are the results of ifconfig:eth0 no wireless extensions.


lo no wireless extensions.

Currently, Ubuntu must be sharing the wireless card in my M1 MacBook Pro as I have access. Feel like I'm missing something simple, please advise.

Thanks,

What is the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

Thanks

Moved to Apple Hardware Users since your host is an Apple product. Further, Parallels is a product for Apple and the hardware abstraction may be quite different from most VM software used with Linux hosts.

ifconfig:eth0 no wireless extensions.

Wrong interface name, in my opinion. If the RTL88xx driver compiled and loaded correctly, then the interface name should be something lile "wlan0".

Can you please check if the driver gets actually loaded? What's the output of this command:

sudo lsmod
