I installed a fresh copy on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver on a desktop computer. I have a Realtek usb wifi adapter plugged in.

I am getting the following message: Sep 13 17:14:13 data-central systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp4s0.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp4s0.device/start timed out. Sep 13 17:14:13 data-central systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp4s0.device. -- Subject: Unit sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp4s0.device has failed -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://www.ubuntu.com/support

I have been unable to find any documentation that describes my error. Can you help?

Thanks.

you can install the latest Realtek drivers from this repository https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88.git
cd rtw88
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8821ae
