I was working w/ a new RTL8852au adapter last night and was sad to see NOTHING displayed for it via `ip a` until I google searched a few things based off the model name and happened upon Larry's work for that driver. Now things are working as they should after a few commands 👍️
It's a Realtek RTL8188CE. One thing I just noticed, under Drivers, "Active No" & "modprobe Yes".
I just tried this:
# lsmod|grep realtek realtek 36864 1 libphy 159744 3 r8169,mdio_devres,realtek
It shows the Ethernet NIC, but not WiFi.
I'm not sure that's the best method, which isn't your fault - it seems like driver names are only _known_ once you already know them. I'd suggest something like: `inix --network` or `inxi --network-advanced`. In my case it reports as rtl8852au but lsmod is valid for 8852au ; same goes for modinfo. Frustrating that you basically need to know the answer to find the answer 😑️. So if you can verify the driver in use under rescue, maybe you can probe the system to find out why it's not being loaded outside of rescue. I can't guarantee this is [any part of] your issue, but the fact that no device is even listed reeks of a missing/unloaded driver. -- ~ Scott Bradnick |- Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Developer |-- Tumbleweed: |--- Dell Precision 5540 [NVIDIA Quadro T1000] (x86_64) |--- O-DROID H2+ [UHD Graphics 600] (x86_64) |--- IceWhale ZimaBoard 832 [Intel HD Graphics 500] (x86_64) |--- 2x Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- 1x Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- WinBook TW100 (x86_64) https://keys.openpgp.org/ :: DBC5AA9A2D2BAEBC
