how do I install RealTek wifi drivers without Sudo Apt-Get?
Posted: 03 Aug 2016, 15:34
Greetings!
I wish to use a RealTek RTL8188ETV wifi dongle on my heirlomb R31 Thinkpad and believe I need the right drivers since it's not plug-and-play in Porteus like in Mint or Xubuntu. Only thing is I can't use their sudo apt-get install method to get the drivers, forget the chicken and the egg that I'd have to be on-line first with the dongle to make it go.
Any hints most appreciated!
