WiFi Issue

[itsentdev]

After I managed to install ubuntu, my Realtek 8811CU WiFi dongle isn't recognized, nor do I have a page for WiFi in Settings.
How do I fix this?

Check in terminal

mokutil --sb

As Secure Boot can not be enabled for this to work

sudo apt update
sudo apt install dkms git
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210118.git
cd 8821cu-20210118
sudo ./install-driver.sh

Reboot

I, uh, don't have any wifi. That includes internet. I don't have a wired connection, if I had one there wouldn't be much of an issue.

Can you USB tether to a smart phone? What kernel version?

uname -r

I managed to USB connect to my phone and install the driver, WiFi works fine now. Why doesn't the driver come with the third-party drivers for WiFi and graphics hardware?
