If you have a desktop with internet connection, maybe a USB stick would suffice?
There is also USB tethering from a phone that could work.
I am not defending framework. They should try to do better (maybe windows is the bottleneck? not sure). Just offering solutions to people who might encounter this problem later.
They said the USB ports didn’t work as they didn’t have the drivers.
oh Sorry, bad at reading comprehensions :(
