I need to make the wireless dongle work and when I looked in terminal I can see that it is there by commanding lshw -C network. I get this:

*-network
       description: Wireless interface
       physical id: 5
       bus info: usb@3:2
       logical name: wlx347de44031b6
       serial: 34:7d:e4:40:31:b6
       capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
       configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtw_8822bu driverversion=6.2.0-33-generic firmware=N/A link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11
WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user.

So I looked for rtw-8822bu in the software files but I don't see it. I tried using commands I found someone else used (I know it's crazy but I tried) and my terminal didn't recognize git so I installed git. Now I am scared I did something wrong and I am paralyzed with fear.

Can anyone advise me? I am using my ethernet connection to try to make the dongle work on this computer.

  • Answers will end here, so check here for updates. According to kernel.org Git repo, drivers for this device should be included in the mainline kernels. So it should not be necessary to install any other drivers. – Artur Meinild Oct 02 '23 at 17:57
