I am just dipping my toes into Linux. I have dual booted Ubuntu on my main machine. Right now I don’t have access at all to a wired connection. I have a TP link archer T2U usb Wi-Fi adapter that I have used and works (on my windows half). However, I can’t use the Wi-Fi adapter because I am missing the drivers on Linux and can’t even install the packages to install the drivers because I am not connected to the internet. My motherboard does not support Wi-Fi so I have to have the adapter and feel stuck without just buying a new adapter that would work innately with Linux.
Use a USB drive or otherwise download this on the Win side and get it over to your Ubuntu side: linky Install that package and you should be able to build your kernel module using dkms.
