my wifi adapter somehow stopped working (together with my graphics card) on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. After reinstalling my Nvidia driver my graphics are working again, thats not a problem. But somehow I can't get the USB adapter working again.
Outpu of lshw:
*-usb UNCLAIMED
description: Generic USB device
product: 802.11ac NIC
vendor: Realtek
physical id: 3
bus info: usb@3:b.3
version: 2.10
serial: 123456
capabilities: usb-2.10
configuration: maxpower=500mA speed=480Mbit/s
In lsusb the wifi adapter shows like that:
Bus 003 Device 017: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
- I tried installing the drivers from this repo: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new -> No success
- I followed this article which helped in the first setup https://rehmann.co/blog/drivers-wifi-usb-adapter-osxmac-linux-windows/ -> No success
- I followed these steps, didn't work as well: How do I install driver for rtl88x2bu?
- Tried different USB ports without success either.
