Sudo cp -r rtl8812au /usr/src/rtl8812au-4.2.2Īfter a reboot the WiFi connection was made. I was able to use an external USB adapter and get WiFi working I bought an OURLiNK Nano USB Wireless Adapter 600Mbps from Amazon (~$10). Thanks to all the provided information and kept me from going down a rabbit hole with no way out. I wasn't able to locate any indication it could be made to work. I removed the wireless card as it was useless.

I guess I could install Mint on the Studio laptop and see if that works as it does on another laptop. I seem to know what is in the laptop and the wireless driver but don't know what to change in terms of setup and/or software.

Of course it has a different network card/driver/firmware (driver=iwl3945 driverversion=4.15.0-43-generic firmware=15.32.2.9 ). I also have a Dell D560 running Mint (latest version as of ( and updated) and can connect to my wireless network. Zzzzzzzzzzzz Infra 1 195 Mbit/s 65 ▂▄▆_.
