You would have to ask the question to Realtec and/or whoever wrote that driver. Realtec (or whoever wrote the driver) would need to submit the driver to the linux kernel and get it accepted and added to the linux kernel. I don't know why that step has never been done. I gave up on using my realtec usb device, it was simply too much work to keep finding the updated driver code for the new kernels. And you really never knew on a kernel update if it was going to compile and work on the new kernel, it seems to break every 2-3 updates. I eventually replaced the laptop's wifi card (I think it was a realtec) with one that worked (intel ax200) reliably, and so don't need the usb one anymore. I won't ever go with a usb one for any reason unless I can confirm that usb one is supported in the kernel already (and last time I only found N300's that had kernel support). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
