What kernel are you using uname -a; dkms status

The 4.15 kernel needs a different solution

Code: Select all

git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6
reboot

I am not sure if it is ok to leave the old dkms module there or not

after the reboot wifi is turned on ... BUT, instead of the normal 10 or more local networks showing, i only get mine at 15-30% and it's as if it doesn't work at all. normal wifi strength is 90% or better.
