Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has this driver working out of the box both when trying the iso live, can be used during installation to download updates and after installation. The driver works flawlessly. I do not know how they included it because the driver is usually downloaded from github (mostly lwfinger's rtlwifi_new repo) and can be built and installed by using make or dkms, and the packages required for building and installing a git source driver are not installed. I hope that Linux Mint 20 has the driver working out of the box.
Low-level stuff like that, is usually the same in Mint. :wink:

I'm upgrading my current install since, like, Mint 17.1, and every time a new release comes out I promise myself "I'll do a fresh install next time".

Will I do a fresh install this time? :lol: :lol:

I will upgrade and do a fresh install if the upgrade fails. I have been upgrading since Cinnamon 17.
If I have helped you solve a problem, please add [SOLVED] to your first post title, it helps other users looking for help.
