I recently bought a new HP laptop (Pavilion 15-ec2003np), but when I installed ubuntu (already tried 20.04, 20.10, Pop!_OS 20.04, 20.10) it says that the network adapter wasn't found and I can only have internet via cable. Already searched for the drivers but I cant seem to find the correct one. The laptop has a Realtek 8852 network adapter.

Has anyone else had the same issue?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Reinstalled Ubuntu 21.04 and ran some commands to get some info. Also, i went through the network troubleshoot from the ubuntu website (only thing i didnt try from there was using the windows drivers) but still no success. Here are the results of the following commands:

  • Pop OS is not on-topic here as only Ubuntu and flavors (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) of Ubuntu are on-topic (see https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic) as uses testing grade software, non-Ubuntu kernels & software. Ubuntu LTS releases have two software stack choices (which can be changed post-install, but are selected by ISO used to install) and you were not specific on which you tried.. nor if you tried the network troubleshooting guide – guiverc May 06 '21 at 01:52
  • If you're currently using a supported version of Ubuntu, could you update your question to include the output of sudo lsusb? There are a couple of different variations of the RTL8852. – matigo May 06 '21 at 02:37
  • Added the outputs from multiple commands. @guiverc im not sure what you mean by software stack. I've used the ubuntu 21.04 iso downloaded from here: https://releases.ubuntu.com/21.04/ (desktop image) and proceeded to the installation. – rfdomingues98 May 07 '21 at 14:42
  • Ubuntu LTS releases offer two software stacks (GA or the general stack remains the same the entire life of the product), or HWE (hardware enablement which moves to later stacks following non-LTS releases allowing later kernel modules (drivers) for newer devices..) Your mention of the off-topic (which uses testing stack as well) means I don't know what you have sorry. (21.04 doesn't have stack choices; it's kernel & stack gets used by 20.04 using HWE stack, but it wasn't mentioned in your question; unclear) – guiverc May 07 '21 at 22:34

Got it fixed. In case anyone else has the same problem, all i did was follow the guide in this github repo: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 I had already done that before but i was using the rtw88 instead of rtw89 (which was the one i needed).

Thank you everyone who tried to help.
