System Data: I updated my system and after doing that my wifi USB was not working anymore. I assume the issue comes from one of the system updates I did. After my wifi wasn't working anymore I tried a bunch of things to try to fix it then I just reinstalled my OS. I still can't get this driver to work. Please help. image

Errors using Make: image image image

Errors using dkms: image

Make log: make.log

Had a similar experience, Upgraded from kernel 5.15.11-arch2-1 to 5.18.14-arch1-1 Adaptor no longer works. It shows up perfectly fine when I lsusb but it is not recognised as a wireless interface.

Tried installing drivers manually through Make and DKMS but met with the same errors as kappaisagreekletter

Make file output: MakeOutput.txt

DKMS file output: DkmsOutput.txt

I reverted to my old kernel and the driver for my wifi USB works again. https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/rbu53y/reverting_the_kernel_version/

You can also manually install an old kernel: https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/#install-manually

But how exactly did you go to an old kernel?

follow this guide: itsfoss.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/#install-manually

also, hold kernel updates with your package manager. undo this and update your kernel when the issue is fixed though
