Unix & Linux Asked on November 17, 2021
this is a self built computer, I have a wifi adapter that works in Windows and has a Linux driver. I have installed it, but no matter what I do the wired cable unplugged in networks is the only item I see. I have to tether on my phone to get internet connection. I have followed the step by step guide on Realtek to install the driver manually and it still will not detect. This is an RTL8111/8168. dkms status
seems to have nothing there when executed. I also have a usb bluetooth adapter that is working fine. The wifi adapter is not working.
Here is the rfkill
output:
$ rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Here is the sudo lshw -C network

Hi It seems to be a problem with the 5.4 kernel. Install 19.3 Linux Mint with 4.6 kernel and wait until 5.8 kernel comes out.
