How to install the driver of the Totolink wifi adapter(based on rtl88x2BU) on Ubuntu 20.10
Recently, I have assembled a desktop computer to practice my skills about deep learning. But I met a situation about I only have the wifi in my rented room and I bought a motherboard without wifi chipset.
Therefore I bought a wifi adapter "TOTO Link A2000UA" which use the Realtek wifi chip. But I installed my desktop with Ubuntu 20.10 system which is not supported by the Totolink public driver.
So I have to do some google search.
Thanks to the open source from kind person on the github.
