0bda:c811 Wifi Adaptor on Ubuntu 18.04 Arm

[Ian]

I've got a cheap 0bda:c811 wifi adaptor that I'd like to get working on my NVIDIA Jetson Nano dev board. However, there's no built-in support for the Realtek RTL8811CU chipset built in to Ubuntu.

I've tried lots of tips I've found online to try and get drivers installed for this device, but they don't work properly on this ARM Ubuntu build.

Are there any wifi driver bundles available for Ubuntu that may work with this?

I can only find custom DKMS drivers on github that don't work for me.

Got it working!

I went back to the very first thing I tried, but I used a different method:

GitHub - whitebatman2/rtl8821CU: Realtek 802.11ac USB WLAN driver

Realtek 802.11ac USB WLAN driver. Contribute to whitebatman2/rtl8821CU development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Instead of following the DKMS route, I used the MAKE method instead - making sure to update the makefile for ARM_RPI3, instead of i386.

Hope this helps someone else!
