I am trying to get a usb wireless device working on ubuntu, sadly when it gets plugged in it seems to come up as a storage device rather than an interface.
I have tried installing numerous drivers from many different sources (to list a some):
- TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano driver for Ubuntu 18.04
- Installing rtl8812AU_linux_v4.2.0_6952.20130315.tar.gz
- Command to rebuild all DKMS modules for all installed kernels?
This is the output of the lsusb command:
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
dmesg output on plugging in the usb:

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I am not the best when it comes to drivers so I could be doing something... very silly...?
