I'm trying to install WiFi drivers. I read that I need to do a sudo modprobe wl, but then I get an error saying
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Operation not permitted
Googling leads me to believe that this is because "secure boot" is enabled on my system. I can see it enabled in my BIOS settings (ASUS motherboard).
I am dual booting (unfortunately I need Windows 10 installed as well, for gaming), and I suspect that Windows 10 needs secure boot to be enabled? I don't know.
So my questions are
a) How do I install the WiFi drivers, when secure boot is enabled?
b) If I need to disable secure boot, will that mess up my dual boot setup? Should my Windows 10 installation still work normally, if I disable secure boot?
(If it's relevant, the device I need drivers for is ASUS AC68 WiFi adapter)
EDIT: Here is why I try to do sudo modprobe wl

I disabled secure boot, and the Windows installation did not suffer.
