Larry, As it tuns out, I was able to create a new dkms.conf file which works on my system. Below is copy of the content from that file: PACKAGE_NAME="rtlwifi-new" PACKAGE_VERSION=0.6 MAKE="make -C $kernel_source_dir M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build" CLEAN="make -C $kernel_source_dir clean" BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="rtw88" BUILT_MODULE_NAME[1]="rtwpci" DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates" DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[1]="/updates" REMAKE_INITRD=no AUTOINSTALL=yes This also had the benefit of module signing by the version of dkms in Ubuntu 19.04, so I am now also back on secure boot. No action on your part is requested at this time. Feel free to use the new dkms.conf content if it is useful to you. Regards, David R. Bergstein On 4/14/19 5:39 PM, David R.
