Hello,

I have realtek wifi adapter in my lenovo laptop ideapad 330 15arr model. It is 
not recognised by sys-net VM. I have downloaded the driver package from the 
following link:

I think development workflow is different in Qubes OS. Any pointers, help, 
ideas?

If you haven't already, try switching sys-net to use the debian-9 template. It might work with no extra effort. If not, check to see if there's a firmware package available (in Debian).

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/ is instructive. Note "[i]nstalling additional kernel modules is cumbersome." The key is that since kernels are supplied by dom0, you can't just compile in a module in a template.

An ugly way to make it work would be to clone debian-9 to a standalone VM, boot using its local kernel, compile in your module, then use that as your sys-net. It would break several Qubes protection features if you do that. Fedora would also work if you can get u2mfn/DKMS working. The better way to do it is described in the above link, or you could purchase a better supported Wifi card. :)
