[22:31] <jim_hitek> Ubuntu 22.10 + updates since Dec. '22 shows 'Using 88XXau driver in DKMS format from rtl8812au-dkms (open source)'; but there are NO wifi stations displayed in the GUI dropdown using Mate or Gnome. Ralink adapter shows several stations.
[22:33] <jim_hitek> From Software & Updates 'Additional Drivers' tab is shows the above, and I do see the RTL device in TERM when using lsusb: 'Bus 001 Device 015: ID 0bda:a811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8811AU 802.11a/b/g/"

[22:37] <jim_hitek> I have all the drivers on board. Several directories. Installed with help from and expert on AskUbuntu. They are all there, but how to activate them and get them running?
[22:37] <Jeremy31> Check in terminal>  mokutil --sb
[22:37] <jim_hitek> Sorry, new to this system. I have the drivers.
[22:38] <jim_hitek> Returns "EFI variables are not supported on this system
[22:38] <jim_hitek> "
[22:38] <Jeremy31> Now check>  modprobe -c | grep -i a811
[22:39] <jim_hitek> Returns: Null
[22:39] <Jeremy31> So no driver was installed that supports the device
[22:40] <jim_hitek> Note this Realtek device has worked for years, after the 21.10 to 22.04 upgrade, once again it stopped working.
[22:41] <jim_hitek> Maybe not, but how do I reinstall it? I was told the last time it was fixed that it would be automatic...
[22:41] <jim_hitek> I'm at Ubuntu V22.10 +updates now.
[22:43] <Jeremy31> You installed for 21.10 originally?
[22:44] <jim_hitek> I installed the Realtek setup back in V16.04 or maybe 18.04 and practically every update or upgrade of Ubuntu, it doesn't work afterwards.
[22:45] <jim_hitek> I've worked for hours with a guy at askubuntu and the last time he told me it'll be persistant through an update or upgrade. But it doesn't.
[22:46] <jim_hitek> Doesn't keep working. It did a couple times during the 21.04-21.10 era, but broke again when upgrading to 22.04.
[22:46] <Jeremy31> jim_hitek: chili555 or pilot6?
[22:47] <jim_hitek> Dunno what that means.
[22:47] <jim_hitek> OH, yeah it was hey something...lemme go look...
[22:48] <Jeremy31> heyenna
[22:49] <jim_hitek> @heynnema
[22:49] <jim_hitek> Yes.
[22:50] <Jeremy31> In terminal  do>  git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708.git
[22:51] <jim_hitek> okay, cloning. 
[22:52] <jim_hitek> I've got three directories that I've installed for the Realtek, is this one of those or a new one?
[22:52] <jim_hitek> Anyway, Done.
[22:52] <Jeremy31> Then> cd 8821au-20210708 && sudo ./install-driver.sh
[22:52] <jim_hitek> Now what.
[22:52] <Jeremy31> This should be a new one as it is easier than removing and updating the other
[22:53] <jim_hitek> I see. Okay, working...
[22:53] <jim_hitek> "Do you want to edit the driver options file now? y/N"
[22:53] <Jeremy31> n
[22:54] <jim_hitek> "Reboot"?
[22:54] <Jeremy31> yes
[22:54] <jim_hitek> Okay, bye for now...
[22:54] <jim_hitek> Thanks.
[23:43] <jim_hitek> That worked, thanks, now I'd like to copy this so I can type it out and save if for the next time Ubuntu updates/upgrades. How do I do that?
[23:45] <jim_hitek> Nevermind, figured it out.
[23:49] <jim_hitek> Can I bring up another 'Worked in 22.04 but doesn't work in 22.10 issue' here, or start a new thread?
[23:51] <jim_hitek> Regarding commercial software/hardware that I pay a yearly fee for...StrongVPN. They have an engineer working on it but it's been nearly a week.
[23:51] <Jeremy31> Try on #ubuntu first
[23:51] <jim_hitek> Okay, thanks.
