2 years ago Hi
Laptop is a metabox Flo, which is based on Insyde corp L140CU Adapter is a simplecom NW632 | Port 2: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2 /dev/bus/usb/001/003 | Port 1: Dev 20, If 1, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 480M ID 0bda:b82c Realtek Semiconductor Corp. /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.1 /dev/bus/usb/001/020 | Port 1: Dev 20, If 2, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=rtl88x2bu, 480M ID 0bda:b82c Realtek Semiconductor Corp. /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.1 /dev/bus/usb/001/020 | Port 1: Dev 20, If 0, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 480M ID 0bda:b82c Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
I'll hunt out the exact model of Google Wifi, but it was the original version I didn't change any from the install script options 88x2bu rtw_drv_log_level=0 rtw_led_ctrl=1 rtw_vht_enable=1 rtw_power_mgnt=1 rtw_switch_usb_mode=2 rtw_beamform_cap=0

2 years ago I don't have a clue at this point. What I do know is that these Realtek drivers do not support WPA3. In fact, if your wifi access point has WPA3 or WPA3/WPA2 mixed selected, it won't work. Make sure 802.11w is not active in the access point either. Also, I'm pretty sure these Realtek drivers have never been tested on USB3 gen2 ports so that could be a factor.
There are reasons why I started the following repo:
https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi
Realtek offers no public support. There is no known way to report bugs to Realtek. Realtek does not publicly release their drivers. It has been a long time since I have been able to find a new Realtek driver at a dealer web site. We may never see updated drivers from Realtek.
My opinion is that Linux users should stay away from Realtek based USB WiFi adapters.

2 years ago I know the above was a little harsh. Sorry about that. A little frustration showing. I am tired of Realtek not supporting their product. We can't fix everything out here in the community.

2 years ago No worries, thanks for taking the time to look at the issue. I have raised it with the supplier, and pointed them to this ticket

Hi. I'd appreciate if you would start a new issue and post the results of the following in it:
$ sudo uname -a && mokutil --sb-state && lsusb && rfkill list all && dkms status && iw dev
Regards

2 years ago @morrownr I did a lot of things trying to install the driver from this repo and from others, and after reboot "suddenly" worked, I don't know if it were from this repo or from another. If this happens again, I will do it

2 years ago I stumbled across this github issue when trying to get my Simplecom NW632 usb adapter working on my arch installation. , Incidentally my usb adapter uses the same Realtek chipset mentioned in this issue i.e. idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b82c, bcdDevice= 2.10. I managed to get the device working on my arch installation. Posting my steps here, perhaps this will help someone else.
sudo pacman -S linux-headers bc
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu
cd rtl88x2bu/
./deploy.sh
sudo modprobe 88x2bu

Thank you!!! This driver is the only one that worked here.
The driver builds and installs successfully
output from iw dev
Removed adapter removed driver modprobe -r 88x2bu
The laptop has USB 3 interfaces, but to get it to this state I had to move it to a USB interface on usb-c dock. The issue seems to be related to scanning.
The wireless access point is a Google wifi
modinfo 88x2bu
Any ideas would be appreciated
