If you whant to Sign in, Use CLI productsign productsign --sign "Developer ID Installer: Your Developer Name (1A2B3C4D5E)" ~/Desktop/"USB Big Sur Adapter.pkg" ~/Desktop/signed-"USB Big Sur Adapter.pkg"

Or use Xcode

I think my question goes beyond signing, which is just a formal step. It would be interesting to know which changes have been made to the driver (if any) and which scripts are executed by the installer.

I just found https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-Big-Sur-Adapter/discussions/159.

Are the drivers RtWlanU.kext, RtWlanU1827.kext original Realtek drivers or have they been modified?
