I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, and I've been having issues with my wifi for a while now (even before I upgraded, as a matter of fact). Looking around, I suspect it's a driver issue. The problem is that Ubuntu doesn't package the drivers I need.

I found the drivers in Debian Bookworm (which is what Ubuntu 22.04 is based on), but I don't know how to install it from there, as it looks like it assumes that it's managed by apt. I'd like to add it to my sources.list, but I don't know how to do that on Ubuntu with a Debian package (putting aside all the useless answers I found telling me what a bad idea that was).

What's the best way to handle this?

Don't add Debian repositories to Ubuntu. You can install a Debian package manually, by first downloading it:

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-realtek_20210818-1_all.deb

And then installing it:

sudo apt install ./firmware-realtek_20210818-1_all.deb

However, this is a manual procedure, and you have to update it manually by following the same procedure.
