Hello, I am trying to install the drivers for an external WiFi adapter.
I am installing it in the debain template, but is not working. I choose the debian template because is the template used by sys-net. Which should be the correct steps to follow if I want to connect to internet using an external USB WiFi adapter? Is there any particular hardware recommented?
user@debian-11:~$ sh -c 'wget linux.brostrend.com/install -O /tmp/install && sh /tmp/install'

Package manager is: apt-get

Could not detect the adapter!
Please insert the BrosTrend WiFi adapter into a USB slot
and press [Enter] to continue.
If you don't have the adapter currently, you may type:
(a) to install the 8812au driver for the old AC1L/AC3L models before 2019, or
(b) to install the 88x2bu driver for the new AC1L/AC3L version 2 models, or
(c) to install the 8821cu driver for the AC5L model, or
(d) to install the 8852bu driver for the AX1L/AX4L models, or
(q) to quit without installing a driver
Please type your choice, or [Enter] to autodetect: b
