Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon TP LINK t3u wifi adapter not found

[drowsy cape]

Open a terminal window and post results for lsusb You will likely need another way to connect to the internet temporarily, USB tether to a smartphone, ethernet

One more thing to mention, I am not able to connect to Ethernet.

I will try usb tether

Thanks.

Apologizes for the late message

[true sigil]

It shows my adapter with its id and it’s at bus 7 device 2

[drowsy cape]

Get me the ID numbers/letters for that device

[true sigil]

ID:2357 0138

In terminal sudo apt update

sudo apt install git dkms

git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702.git

cd 88x2bu-20210702

sudo ./install-driver.sh

Thanks let me try these

[drowsy cape]

Also check mokutil --sb as Secure Boot will need to be disabled for the driver to load after rebooting

[true sigil]

Does that prevent windows from loading?

[drowsy cape]

It shouldn't, I have it disabled and Windows still loads

[true sigil]

Alright 👍

How long does sudo apt update usually take?

It’s been running for around 7 minutes

[drowsy cape]

Is it showing any progress in terminal?

[drowsy cape]

Mine shows a progress bar at the bottom

[true sigil]

It gave me an eta of 4 hours, but it fluctuates

Is this normal?

The eta isn’t there anymore :/

[drowsy cape]

Slow cellular?

[true sigil]

Probably

I have to go for now, but I will let you know if anything else pops up

Also, is there any way i can stop this process?
