I am trying to install a new wifi dongle to my PC. I have plugged in to USB and it is recognised:
lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:5572 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5572 Wireless Adapter
I have added a new connection in Network Manager for wifi using the ID from above but it does not seem to be working.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you installed kernel-firmware-realtek?
Is secure boot enabled?
Have you installed kernel-firmware-realtek?
Yes
Is secure boot enabled?
where can I check this?
mokutil --sb-state
Also post as root executed:
journalctl -b | grep -Ei 'network|firmware|rt2800'
ip a
mokutil --sb-state
This system doesn’t support Secure Boot

Why this?
Have you tried to build your own driver?
Thanks for your help, Stephan.
I don’t know anything about this. I haven’t tried to build a driver.

I do not know, why that module is “unsupported”.
It is needed by rt2800usb
depends: rt2800lib,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib,mac80211,usbcore

Also ran the zypper command - output too long to post.
I think I don’t have enough time to try to sort this. Thanks very much for your efforts.
I will work without the wifi access from this machine; I wanted this to use a new printer as a wifi machine but I still have my old printer directly connected.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Both are not supported anymore.
