It seems to be loaded.
BTW I also downloaded Live ISOs of Debian, OpenSuse and Fedora. Would it
be worth longterm seeing if they behave better?
Ah! I've just spotted a problem, it's 8814au not 8812au. Apologies if I
said it was an 8812au. Updated lsmod output:
base) julian@CERCE:~$ sudo modprobe 8814au
[sudo] password for julian:
modprobe: FATAL: Module 8814au not found in directory
/lib/modules/5.3.0-45-generic
It looks like it's not loaded which explains a lot.
No, no, that's the correct driver for the 8814 chipset .. the 8812au covers
both types.
what do you get now with 'ifconfig -a' .. you should have something that
starts 'wl.....'. Failing that, 'dmesg | grep 8812' might tell us something ...
More specifically, in a terminal run:
dmesg -wT
And then watch it live update as you unplug/replug the adaptor. dmesg
will spit out kernel messages which will tell you what's happening. ME's
right about the driver as well so don't worry about that - it's also
autoloading correctly so you're 90% of the way there.
We just need to get it under the control of your chosen GUI network
manager now so you can use it without having to ifconfig it up.
