Installing Wi-fi Drivers on Ubuntu Server 20.04

ru flag

I recently purchased a USB Wi-fi Adapter from Amazon for my Ubuntu server. The reviews say that it is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 but the drivers for Ubuntu don't come on the included driver CD. I was wondering where I could find the correct drivers for the adapter. The adapter is linked below. If anyone can help, that'd be very appreciated.

Does the adapter work? What does `lsusb` output? In most cases you don't need drivers.

Unplug the adapter. In a terminal window, `sudo journalctl --follow`. Enter your login password when prompted. Then plug the adapter in. After things settle, stop the `journalctl --follow` by typing `^C`. Carefully read each line, and [Edit] your question to add (copy, paste,format) the interesting ones

@waltinator dmesg may work better here with the `--facility [list] --kernel` options. I'm not sure which facilities would return usb/wifi related logs, but I guarantee they exist. : )

what options are given on the dick that came with it? would you mind listing the file names? Also, can you rerun `lsusb` but as `lsusb -v ` and post the section following `Bus 001 Device 004` in the output. IJt will tell if ther is a stock driver loaded for it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
