Scan hangs and does not return any networks. Can't connect to anything. (Kernel 6.4.16) #1125

Hi, I just installed Mageia 9 and tried to use my Archer T2U Plus dongle but not having much luck. The distro comes with version 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 of the rtl8812au driver. Mageia is using kernel 6.4.16-desktop-3.mga9.

Unfortunately, I cannot get it to connect or see any networks. It doesn't return any errors. After cloning and compiling the dkms driver successfully, the same result of not seeing any networks is happening.

Please let me know what logs/output you'd like to see that can be helpful. Thank you!

Ok. Some good news, I successfully cloned the latest and got it installed. One of the things that confused me was the version as reported by modinfo. I discovered that even though the dkms.conf file had the correct version in there, the file "include/rtw_version.h" still had an very old version in it. This is why I wasn't able to originally tell what version was actually loaded in.

One thing to note that hopefully someone can clue me in on, when i do an 'iw wlan0 scan', it takes a little bit to return but then it doesn't show me my 2Ghz network SSID, only my 5Ghz network SSID. Is there an option I should be setting that would display both?
