Hello everybody.
I have a USB WiFi network card available.
Manufacturer and model
Wavlink AX1800 WiFi6 WL-WN693X1
that uses the chip
Realtek RTL8832BU.
It’s a card that should be quite powerful and I would like to try to get it working in my OpenSUSE 15.5 computer.
It seems to me that there are no suitable drivers available in the repositories.
I also tried searching on the Internet and found two in GitHub, but they need to be compiled, and the compilation doesn’t work.
By any chance does anyone have a USB WiFi card with a Realtek RTL8832BU chip and was able to get it to work properly?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not very familiar with configuring network cards so I could use some help diagnosing the problem.
Below are some results of commands that perhaps can be useful, then tell me what else to do.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
