I am trying to install Ubuntu to learn it. So, I am new. I installed Ubuntu Server 17.04 on my desktop. But, it does not recognize my ASUS AC88 wifi adapter. I followed the instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/a/60395/30140 but, they did not work. Note that I can't access the internet to download packages. I saw some things online about using wireless-tools. But, I cannot download the package. Let me know any additional information you would like. Thanks.
Edit: I found instructions here: https://rhees.nl/2017/03/10/HOWTO-install-drivers-for-the-Asus-PCE-AC88-on-Debian-Jessie/ Again, it involves a lot of packages not currently installed. If someone could piece together a way to do it offline (with help from a laptop perhaps), I would appreciate it. Though a cleaner method is still preferred.
Edit2: I have also found this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135321 Comment 17 on the thread claims they got it working (two days ago). I don't understand what they did. They summarize it as:
Yep it was the kernel driver. Replaced the module brcmfmac with the module wl and
the wifi device lit up.
