Ive tried this one: but nm-tool: not found

sudo lshw -C network *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:07:00.0 logical name: enp7s0 version: 07 serial: 14:18:77:c3:bc:a9 size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 100Mbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full firmware=rtl8106e-1_0.0.1 06/29/12 ip=192.168.50.241 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=100Mbit/s resources: irq:43 ioport:3000(size=256) memory:a9000000-a9000fff memory:c0000000-c0003fff

as you can see with lshw -C network is just showing the ethernet adapter, the trendnet is not there.

I have also tried to in software and updates -> additional drivers to install propietary drivers: no additional drivers available.

I have modified the lwfinger rtl8723bu so that it should support your device, do

sudo apt install git build-essential dkms
git clone
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723bu
sudo dkms install rtl8723bu/4.3.6.11_12942.20141204_BTCOEX20140507-4E40

Secure Boot will need to be disabled on UEFI systems, you can check Secure Boot status in terminal with mokutil --sb-state

Reboot

You can find a driver info page here. They call out it requiring a driver for a Realtek RTL8723BU chip set.

Drivers can be found here and possibly here.
