I bought USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet LAN Adapter and use the internet to install the driver.

My laptop has no wifi. After searching on google I found this solution: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

But it has some requirements: "make", "gcc", "kernel headers", "kernel build essentials". I don't know how to install it to my ubuntu, because the laptop doesn't have internet. I have USB and other internet computer, is there anyway to install these requirements offline?

Thank you.

Is the other computer also running Ubuntu — ideally the same version? If so, you can download all of the .deb files from the other machine for the build-essentials package, which is what you need – matigo Dec 24 '21 at 05:19
Yes, my PC is running Ubuntu. How can I download all of the .deb files? – Santala Dec 24 '21 at 05:26
This answer will walk you through the process. You will want to replace {package name} with build-essential, which will download quite a large number of files. Copy them all to a USB stick and bring them over to the notebook. – matigo Dec 24 '21 at 07:44
Thank you for your help. I followed you link, but when I downloaded, it gives me file .bin instead of .deb – Santala Dec 24 '21 at 09:08
I got 2 files: pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin – Santala Dec 24 '21 at 09:16
are you sure that wifi is not switched off using physical switch or in bios? – Andra Dec 24 '21 at 11:15
There is no problem with physical switch. I'm not about bios, my laptop is new 100 with seal. how to check it in bios? – Santala Dec 25 '21 at 01:27
I have just check my bios: https://i.imgur.com/ofAO1xY.jpg I think it is fine. – Santala Dec 25 '21 at 01:35
Does this answer your question? How can I install software or packages without Internet (offline)? – karel Dec 25 '21 at 07:01
