Hey there
So I have this 
And this is not working in Zorin. It has Bluetooth, WiFi and Ethernet port. Non of them are working. And I have an Ethernet port in my motherboard, which is also not working either. The only was to connect to internet is USB Tethering. How can I fix that?

You may be experiencing the same thing as this person:
Ok let's see. Thank you sir😄
Sir, how to install the .sh file? I have extracted that. What's next? Cause I haven't installed any additional drivers in Zorin😅
Actually I have figured that out. But I have an error now? How can I fix that?
You can go back in and rmmod later if needed. What is important currently is whether the software installed.
You can modprobe the new driver, if needed.
Its not installing, I have tried tons of command but non of them are working. Please Help me in removing the old driver and installing the new one.

This scares me... Without knowing what commands have been run, re-tracing the steps in order to troubleshoot this can get tedious.
Which driver do you need removed?
Did you run any modprobe commands or blacklist additions or removals?
So i have found this post related to my Ethernet card
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=299113
and this also
Ask Ubuntu suggested that I should r8101 driver. So i download the driver for the real tek website and extracted the file. Inside the driver's folder i found a autorun.sh file. There i had Opened the terminal and enter the command
sudo bash autorun.sh
After some steps the driver was successfully. I had tested that by
inxi -Fx
After a reboot, I opened Network section in Settings, there was now an option for PCI Ethernet. Afterwards I had connected my WiFi to my computer via ethernet cable but nothing happened. Internet was not connect, in fact it is looking something like this
From above^
Actually I had just
sudo bash autorun.sh
And it automatically removed r8169 Driver and installed r8101 driver.
No. I haven't used that command yet. I mean I had tried but unfortunately it didn't worked!
Hmmm... the 810xE is included in the r8169 driver, but not in the 8168. You removed the 8169?
Run
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Relay the results here, too -we can see if your necessary driver is blacklisted.

Nothing there that could explain it...
You have the 810xE ?
I would use this driver for that card:
Yes Sir, I have 810xE.
Sir I had downloaded the driver from the provided link of official website of RealTek in this Github page and installed that. Still no results. What should I do now Sir?
Valiant Boy
Yes, I know... But I would trust the link I provided more. The reason is; Realtek does not really care about Linux and can be pretty lackadaisical about ensuring up to date drivers.
Whereas the Linux maintainers relay on working drivers and are likely to have them working.
I think I wasn't that clear. Before installing any drivers I had visited this GitHub page. But I didn't found any download link for the Particular GitHub Driver. If you can provide me that I would definitely install that driver. The only thing I found on the GitHub page was the download link for official Driver of Realtek.
Valiant Boy
Certainly.
If you look on the upper right side, you will see a button marked "Code"
In this image, it is Bright Green:
Click that button and select Download ZIP
In your ~/Downloads directory, select the Zip and "extract here", then enter the extracted directory.
On the Github page, scroll down a bit for the install instructions:
Thank you sir. Let me do it
