Recently I bought a USB Wifi adapter that is Realtek based (Amazon.ca), and thought of sharing the steps of installing the driver on Jetson Nano with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

  1. Make sure the product ID is b812
lsusb -v -d 0bda:b812
  1. If you have not installed git and dkms, you need to install them
sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms git
  1. Clone the driver repository
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959.git

  1. follow the steps in rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959/README.md at master · cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959 · GitHub

  2. You can verify the installation with dkms status. It should show you

rtl88x2bu, 5.3.1, 4.9.140-tegra, aarch64: installed
