Now rebuild rtl88x2bu-dkms-git and provide a new log
do I need to uninstall it 1st or just go ahead and click on “build” ?

Moderator edit: In the future, please use proper formatting: [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text
Ok, it compiled.
Now do sudo modprobe 88x2bu
did that
Now test if it works.
Try removing the old adapter and connect to WiFi using the new one
ok , wait . I’m confused - per this
Ok, it compiled.
Now do sudo modprobe 88x2bu I may have done it wrong . I copied and pasted what you wrote; was that done correctly or?
If you didn’t see any errors, then the module was supposed to be successfully loaded

both are plugged in . I unplugged the old one - asus tek N13 . then no internet
System doesn’t see the new adapter still
Can you provide

do I copy the text just as it is ? I mean the output.
Put the output inside those symbols

Kernel module is loaded, I don’t see any other drivers it could be in conflict with.
And it’s still not detected by system. I’m frustrated
Couple of things you could try:
- reattach adapter into another USB port. If it is in USB 2.0 stick it into USB 3.0 and vice versa
- switch kernel to 6.1 and see if it works then
I just checked in base-devel and the window is still empty in “files” . is that how it should be ?
It’s a visual bug. I don’t see them either at the moment but files are there
It’s not the reason the adapter isn’t working
so switch to kernel 6.1.38_rt12-4 the settings mgr ?
just making sure I do things right
OR is it 6.1.44-1 ?
