See https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916 as I would install Ubuntu first and then use another means to connect to internet such as USB tethering to a smartphone — Jeremy31, May 28 '23 at 19:33
@TalaatEtman That answer is for wifi device manufactured by Broadcom, this device is made by Realtek — Jeremy31, May 28 '23 at 20:31
