Doesn't work with Realtek 0xf179 on Ventura

[egslava]

Hello! Thank you for doing this amazing stuff! I didn't believe I would be able to find these drivers, to be honest (◕‿◕)

Today I bought realtek 0xf179 wi-fi adapter and tried to make it work (csrutil disable in safe mode and, later, in normal mode, sudo spctl --master-disable) on macos ventura (13.4 (22F66), mbp 2018), but it says, that there's no wi-fi adapter.

Specifications:

What could go wrong?

What brand and model of USB adapter are you using? Without that I can't help you

Thank you for your reply. What do you mean by brand and model? I thought, "realtek 0xf179" would be enough, but I'm not familiar much with chips/electric engineering or drivers.

Here I found the photo of the package in the internet:

So the brand is "i-rock". When I tried to find 'realtek 0xf179 brand name', I found "RTL8188FTV" in this issue (102) in this repo, lol. Basically, it ends up, that this wi-fi adapter is not supported (◕‿◕)

Anyways, thank you for your time!
