If unable to connect to the net, then any downloading, installing from the net or updating from the net will not yet be possible.
If you cannot connect using either Mobile Hotspot, Ethernet or WiFi; your best bet is to download the files you need and transfer them with a USB stick.

Open a terminal In the directory that contains those files.
In this case, within the RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver directory. Some file managers allow Right Click > Open In Terminal to do this.
Or you can Change Directory (cd command) in the terminal to reach that directory. For example, if you transfer the file into your Downloads folder..

cd ~/Downloads/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver-master

Then run

/.configure

make

sudo make install

Just tried the first command after pasting the zip file, but it said it found no such file or directory.

#17

Erm...

./configure

#18

Still hasn't worked... :confused:

#19

Can you outline what happened?

#20

It just responded with the same answer: bash [] no such file or directory.

#21

What directory are you running the command in?

#22

Xfce terminal.

#23

Yes, what Directory? Can you post a Screen Photo?

Ok, that terminal is in Home Directory. You need to set it into the RTL88 directory, as outlined here:

#26

I have opened a terminal and tried to configure it, but got the same answer again. What file should I try to open it in?

#27

Here are the files it the driver has on my Zorin OS:

Ok, and the terminal shows the directory it is in as:

~/Downloads/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver-master

Or:

~/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver-master

?

#29

It shows the top one when I did it earlier.

Ok, quick Crash Course:

Let's see that you and I are working on a Project and I need to give you some Instructions. Unless I have a way of directly communicating with you, you will not have any way of knowing what those instructions are.
For example, if we are both in the same room, then you can receive those instructions clearly.
To install this driver, using the terminal, you are Directly Giving Instructions to the computer in order for it to know what to do.
You need to "put the terminal in the same room" with the Files in order for the system to see the files to use.

That is - to Open The Terminal Within the Same Directory as the Files.

What is the Exact Location of the /RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver-master Folder?
You transferred it on USB, right? Where did you move it to?

#31

I moved a copy into the Downloads folder, which is where I tested the open terminal and configure command.

#32

Can you do:

cd ~/Downloads/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver-master

Then post a screen grab of the open terminal?

Ok, in that terminal, enter in

make

and relay what happens when you do
