Have searched previous issues and tried their solutions but to no avail.

$ modinfo rtlwifi gives me the following output:

which I'm pretty sure is indeed the built-in driver.

My network card output from lshw is:

Any ideas?!

I found a solution! So similar to https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver/issues/121, the drivers were being installed in the wrong directory. To fix things, I did the following

I found a solution! So similar to #121, the drivers were being installed in the wrong directory. To fix things, I did the following

* edit [./rtl8192ce/Makefile](./rtl8192ce/Makefile) and added /realtek to the end of the var `MODDESTDIR`. (note: you may have to replace rtl8192ce with your own adapter version)

* `` cd /lib/modules/` uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek `` and nuke everything in there

* run the `./install.sh` again

after I run ./install.sh again it gives error that Could not backup rtlwifi because it could not be found! Expected at /lib/modules/5.15.0-70-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi
