OK, can you now post back (making sure the dongle is attached):

Code:
lsusb | grep -i net


also try this to see (without the dongle present) if it rectifies the issue:

Code:
sudo apt-get purge rtl8812bu-dkms
then reboot. AFTER you have rebooted and logged in, plug in the dongle and see if it starts working.

Yes an wifi adapter is connected trhought the usb.Alsow before i installed i had windows 10 os and dongle worked just fine.All USB ports is enabled on Bios too.
Rebooting and connecting Dongle dosn't changes anything

Hi, try downloading the Linux driver from this page:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsa09i5txcsrt ... h=%2FLINUX

It's a large* file but according to this post, it worked:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... ost5850739

The only proviso is that this driver was written for 18.04 and Zorin is not due to release the next version until this autumn. Keep us posted.

I finaly found solution!!

So if you want Inamax AC1200 working on Zorin all have to do just copy all of this code and paste it in you terminal window and wait. ( you must be connected to network (over cable or somehow else ), as you wil need be connected to network to be able to download, some files )

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.2.4.4_25643.20171212_COEX20171012-5044.git
cd rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.2.4.4_25643.20171212_COEX20171012-5044
VER=$(cat ./version)
sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER}
sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo modprobe 88x2bu


Alsoow if at then end you will get error like:

Code:
sudo modp
robe 88x2bu+-
modprobe: FATAL: Module 88x2bu+- not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-30-generic


Replace sudo modp
robe 88x2bu+- TO sudo modp
robe 88x2bu
For some reason when i pasted code it add at the end +- have no idea why,.
Other then that it works just fine.Alsow you might need to wait 5 min till you be able connect trhought wifi.

P.S Sorry for my English! hope it helped

Hi, If you go to that linux questions dot org link I give you that is what the OP had exactly the same issues - until he loaded that driver I pointed you to of 37.5 Mb.
Here is the github page in case there is an earlier version:
