Hi, I have installed the driver without issues on Debian 11 Bullseye (5.10.0-30-amd64 x86_64). I have a usb stick that needs RTL8811A/RTL8821A USB drivers. However, after installing it wifi is sill not enabled. I have tried different ports but didn't make a difference.

Not sure if this issue is valid, as the driver installed correctly. The device is from an unknown brand (https://approx.es/producto/appusb600da-adaptador-usb-wifi-600mb-antena/) and they have linux drivers (software tab) but they are outdated, so I was not able to install them. However, it includes some documentation where it states that need RTL8811A/RTL8821A USB drivers.

Any recommendation on how to check whats wrong?

running lsusb -v gives me:

Hi @FoolHen

it includes some documentation where it states that need RTL8811A/RTL8821A USB drivers.

That documentation is wrong. The VID/PID ID 0bda:c811 indicates that your adapter uses the rtl8821/11cu chip so you need to clean out/remove any incorrect drivers and go to:

Thank you, that one seemed to partially work. I'm able to now see the wireless networks but unfortunately it can't connect to any network, their settings seem fine but it keeps asking for password and retrying. It's probably the adapter's fault, right?
