Wi fi USB....not install

[Ultrabenosaurus]

Did you look at the Additional Drivers tab in Software & Updates as @Ponce-De-Leon suggested? Do that first.

If there are no suitable Additional Drivers, or they didn't work after installing them and rebooting, please see my comment on previous forum threads with some troubleshooting steps and potential solutions:

Wifi option is not showing for connect to wifi

Hi akshdeep. Please try to provide as much detail as possible when asking questions, so others can help you more quickly and accurately. For example: What version of Zorin are you using? Did you use the "try Zorin" option before installing, and if so did WiFi work then? Is this a new install that never had WiFi connectivity, or have you been using Zorin a while and suddenly WiFi stopped working? Do you see settings for WiFi but it just can't detect or connect to your network, or is there only …

If those steps didn't work, I have found this from the code in your last screenshot and corroborated as working in a couple of other support threads around the web:

https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu

Pending Deprecation

A few versions ago (around 6.4 IIRC), rtw88x2bu support has been added to the mainline Linux kernel. This repo will be maintained until we either receive a few comments on #270 that the mainline driver is working well or MaxG87 and cilynx agree that no feedback means no one is still using this driver and we make the executive decision to archive it.

You could try updating to a linux kernel >6.4 if you aren't already running one.

If you are, or updating your kernel doesn't get it working, you could try installing direct from that cilynx repo.

Disclaimer: I do not have an rtl88x2bu chipset device to test this with and it's just based on stuff I've found searching online; proceed at your own risk!

I have copied the most relevant parts of the README here, but read it in full before doing anything, to ensure you are happy with the process.

Simple Usage

In order to make direct use of the driver it should suffice to build the driver with make and to load it with insmod 88x2bu.ko. This will allow you to use the driver directly without changing your system persistently.

It might happen that your system freezes instantaneously. Ensure to not loose important work by saving and such beforehand.

Open a terminal in a directory you want to work in, like ~/git/cilynx or something, then the approximate commands would be:

git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git

cd rtl88x2bu && make

(the make step could take a while and might fail, only run the next line if it is successful)

insmod 88x2bu.ko

If that works, you can make it persistent (load at boot) by running the included deploy.sh script, but this is a critical system modification so only do it if you trust the source and know what it is doing.

DKMS installation

If you want to have the driver available at startup, it will be convenient to register it in DKMS. An executable explanation of how to do so can be found in the script deploy.sh. Since registering a kernel module in DKMS is a major intervention, only execute it if you understand what the script does.

Secure Boot

Secure Boot will prevent the module from loading as it isn't signed. In order to check whether you have secure boot enabled, you couly run mokutil --sb-state. If you see something like SecureBoot disabled, you do not take to setup module signing.

If Secure Boot is enabled on your machine, you either could disable it in BIOS or UEFI or you could set up signing the module. How to do so is described here.
