Hello, that looks like it belongs to your Ethernet interface and not your wireless.

The attached PHY driver and enp2s0 interface are not for wireless.

thank you Brian; my eyes are dim; i had confused RTL8226B_RTL8221B with 8852BE meantime, although rtw89 compiled ok, 8852BE doesn't show up as a wifi interface, so i'm temporising with a Ralink dongle. here is (hopefully!) relevant dmesg: [    3.944363] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: examining hci_ver=0b hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=0b lmp_subver=8852 [    3.946357] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8852bu_fw.bin [    3.946732] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8852bu_fw.bin [    3.946744] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8852bu_config.bin [    3.946836] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_bt/rtl8852bu_config.bin [    3.967369] 8852be: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

STOP PRESS: great Scot! After another restart, it does appear and does connect!! :) Mine not to reason why... It would be nice to know what "signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel" is all about, but so long as it works, i no complain :) bluetooth works too, so thankyou thankyou to lwfinger and friends
