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. #inxi --network-advanced Network: Device-1:Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet driver:r8169 IF:eth0 state:up speed:1000 Mbps duplex:full mac:f0:de:f1:8c:dc:99 Device-2:Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter driver:N/A
That lsmod command should have included both network drivers, but only Ethernet appeared.
You can try that inxi command under the rescue system to find out the exact name of the wifi driver. The xfce rescue image, when installed on an USB stick, is r/w and you can install inxi on it if it is not already there. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
