The driver is however behind a few kernel config options. Checking which options were enabled in my kernel, I could see it disabled:
$cat /boot/config-6.4.6-76060406-generic | grep RTW88

For now I guess I can compile the module myself, but would PopOS be willing to enable the CONFIG_RTW88_8821CU kernel config for future releases?
Thanks!
I've recently bought a
tp-link Archer T2UB Nano
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth dongle and couldn't get it working on PopOSI am using kernel 6.4.6, system info as follows:
The device lists itself as USB 0bda:c820
Searching for an available driver for it, I was able to find that one (
rtw8821cu
) has been merged for kernel 6.2 and newerThe driver is however behind a few kernel config options. Checking which options were enabled in my kernel, I could see it disabled:
