No driver is showing, try this one line at a time:

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo make dkms_install

Reboot

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxxxrz && rfkill list && iwconfig && mokutil --sb-state

It's just the holidays break. The last update I got was 12/17. Support for 19.3 ends April 2023.

Glad to hear it.

Try:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

Reboot

sleeper12

I was about to suggest trying:

Code: Select all

echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

Reboot

Nothing happens when you enter the password? Did you try it with the ethernet cable unplugged?

sleeper12

See if you can get a temporary connection:

Well, must be version differences. On my Mint 20.3 XFCE, the menu icon gets bigger too.

sleeper12

I'm on a different Mint version, but if you right click on menu, you might increase the row size in Panel, Panel Preferences.

Try the wl driver:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -rv bcma wl

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -v wl

Reboot if needed

I think you should be using the 8192ee driver, not the rtl8192ee.
Did you run all of the commands here: viewtopic.php?p=2263645#p2263645
