How to install Realtek wifi driver on Debian
by joboy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MTK2)
I got a couple of USB wifi adapters I want to use on Mint Debian, one of them has Bluetooth built in, but the system does not recognize the devices. I can only tell via lsusb that both are Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC, no model no. provided, and I don't have a windows machine to check. I wonder if there is a generic driver I can install, and I don't understand why this common h/w vendor does not get supported on the OS.
