I apologize in advance if this is covered in a previous post. However, I've searched and searched and have only found solutions for people with access to an ethernet connection.

I need the 8812au driver in order to get wireless access from my netgear A6100.
this would be great
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd ~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

Many thanks!
You can do the following:
On another computer go to that github site:
https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux and download
the zip (bottom right)Put that zip on a flash drive
Boot into ubuntu
Unzip the zip with
