Re: [PLUG] recommendations for a usb wireless adapter

[Russell Senior]

Clarification/Correction:

The usb-wifi radio I had from years ago is an rtl8812au (the vendor is
Edimax, but that shouldn't matter) and I used this:

  https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git

I haven't actually confirmed it still works. I'm running kernel v5.7.7 on
this laptop and it at least built and loaded.

I got one of these recently:

  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085ZLKRLV/

It is a Realtek, RTL8811CU (according to the description). Be aware that
the driver, though available on github, is not upstream. I'm not sure
why. I've had another one for a number of years with the same chipset
and it has worked previously.

Another option, and something to have on hand anyway, is a usb ethernet
dongle. They are pretty cheap, $10-$20, and almost always work right out
of the box.

[PLUG] recommendations for a usb wireless adapter

[Smith, Cathy]

Can some recommend a WiFi usb adapter that is compatible with Ubuntu?

I have a Dell workstation that I want run Ubuntu.  The nearest ethernet port is 
2 rooms away.   Using a wireless adapter would be easier than stepping over an 
ethernet cable.  The workstation belongs to my employer, so buying a NIC card 
is not worth the money.  I tried to use a Linksys AC600 WiFi adapter but I 
couldn't find a driver.

Thanks.
