    Question WiFi Issue

    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
    Code:
    mokutil --sb
    As Secure Boot can not be enabled for this to work
    Code:
    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?
    Code:
    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?
