How do I get a realtek wifi dongle to work

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

I have a computer with a wifi dongle.

It shows as being a Realtek 802.11ac.

I have searched on the World Wide Web, and have consequently, installed 
multiple Realtek drivers, from the 22.04 repository, and, from the kali 
linux repository, that are supposed to get the dongle working, but, none 
of them have. I have had to download then to a USB thumb drive on one 
computer, transfer the drive to the target computer, and, install the 
driver from that, in each attempt.

Because the installation iso's do not include needed networking drivers, 
I cannot use the computer upon which, I am attempting installation, to 
connect to the Internet, to find applicable drivers, and, whilst lsusb 
finds the device, it is unusable, because I cannot install a driver for 
it, from the iso, or, from the searches that I have done.

So, how do I get this USB wifi dongle working, to connect to the 
Internet, so I can find and download its driver?

It is unfortunate that the iso's contain applications software, but, not 
the network device drivers needed to complete an installation.
