I could follow all steps as outlined in this question

However, this step:

sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}

Returns:

the directory rtl88x2bu-5.6.1 does not exist

Appreciate any help to complete the driver upgrade

  • Did you perform the line of sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER} exactly with the spaces or did that line error out? Because it doesn't seem like it copied over the source files into the /usr/src folder like it was supposed to. All of those lines in that can be copied and pasted into a terminal. – Terrance Aug 29 '21 at 01:09
  • Thanks Terrance, I do not get an error, I re-ran that step and see:

    sent 5.05G bytes received 2.25M bytes 96.28M bytes/sec total size is 5.04G speedup is 1.00 as return yet, doing the next step today return: sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} Error! Invalid number of arguments passed. Usage: add / or add -m / or add -m -v

  • The line of VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf) is what is used to set the version. You might want to run that line again from the rtl88x2bu folder that was created when you ran the git command. – Terrance Aug 29 '21 at 16:18
  • Thank you, Terrance! That did it, my WIFI is now working - really appreciate your help! Have a great weekend, Marc – Tschau Sepp Aug 29 '21 at 17:13
