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.
