I have used this command: `sudo apt install build-essential git dkms linux-headers-generic`
but it did not solve the problem

you can only find the driver itself in [here](https://www.dlink.ru/ru/products/2/2432.html) (Russian page)

edit: the solution found by Denatunium was to downgrade the kernel https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/how-to-downgrade-the-kernel-on-ubuntu-20-04-to-the-5-4-lts-version/26459

the below solution exist if it is still not working

It look like a missing ipx.h header file

Do the following to try to fix your problem:

first install the missing header file

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

then clean the driver source code

cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/driver/RTL88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.13.1-20-gbd7c7eb9d_COEX20210316-18317b7b.20210702
make clean

then rebuild the driver

make

then install

sudo make install
