Hello,
recently I was troubleshooting my father-in-law's computer and ended up
buying TP-Link's AC1300 Wifi USB adapter for which there is no driver
included in the kernel.
I solved his problem by giving him my old Realtek dongle which has
supported driver in the kernel and now I'm left with the newly bought
one.
My machine is connected via Ethernet, but in case that something does
happen with my router, I'd like to have backup solution via phone's
hotspot, so wonder - not strictly related to Fedora - what is the
situation in regard to RTL88x2BU driver get included in the official
Linux kernel since manual building and chasing kernel sources is not
pretty?
Sincerely,
Gour
Realtek doesn't seem to be responsive to Linux for USB. So far, haven't
had trouble with the wired ethernet adapters from them. I have two USB
adapters that use their chips. One specifically stated that it supported
Linux, but the driver was outdated. Found people who had patched the
drivers for a while but they have fallen behind the kernel changes.
Haven't found anything that works since March.
