RTL88x2BU v5.2.4.1 22719 Mint 19
I have converted from Windows 10 and have this WiFi adapter that worked fine in Windows 10 but I cannot seem to get it to work in Mint. I am wired for the time being but need the wireless. I've read through a lot of the posts but none seemed to fix this issue. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi i had also problems with RTL* drivers so i decided to going to use intel wlan chipsets
for my desktop i bought this asus wifi adapter https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01EX7KP46/ref ... 01_TE_item as this has kernel integrated drivers and has also the ability to exchange the wifi adapter in future to a different model

Re: RTL88x2BU v5.2.4.1 22719 Mint 19
Thanks for the thought. I'm in the US and was hoping to get my adapter to work without having to purchase another.
Does anyone know of a USB WiFi that works with Mint 19 on an AMD motherboard?

Ok, do
double click on the dkms.conf
change line 3 from
Save and exit then in terminal
Code: Select all
cd rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.2.4.4_25643.20171212_COEX20171012-5044
change line 3 from
PACKAGE_VERSION="#MODULE_VERSION#"
to PACKAGE_VERSION=4.3

cd ~
sudo dkms add rtl88x2bu

Re: RTL88x2BU v5.2.4.1 22719 Mint 19
I made the change to dkms.conf ... "4.3"
Line 3 now reads
PACKAGE_VERSION="4.3"
Then I went back and ran the following lines successfully:
