@SuzukiHonoka

Could you please tell me how to apply this patch / pull request #58 https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/pull/58 to the master branch (that I have downloaded already through "git clone"). I'm using Ubuntu MATE 20.04

By the way, I've reported the same issue too: https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/issues/59

Hi,
You can simply add a surrfix to the pull request URL to get the entire patch file.

wget https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/pull/58.patch
git apply 58.patch

@SuzukiHonoka

Thanks alot for the reply. Is this how it should be:

git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git
cd rtl88x2bu
wget https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/pull/58.patch
git apply 58.patch

I just like to make sure as there was no message after, git apply 58.patch (prompt just went to the next line).

[SuzukiHonoka]

Yep, that's right~

[TheJags]

Yep, that's right~
Thank you :)

I'm having an issue with kernel 5.8.4-200-fc32-x86_64 on Fedora 32 where the DKMS module (with patch 58 applied) installs but the Wi-Fi adapter is still not detected.

sudo dkms status outputs the following: rtl88x2bu, 5.6.1, 5.8.4-200-fc32.x86_64, x86_64: installed

Update: Apparently it works fine now that I've plugged the Wi-Fi adapter directly into the USB 2.0 ports back of the machine instead of the USB 3.0 card (my computer doesn't have native USB 3.0). And upon further testing, the USB 3.0 card suddenly doesn't work anymore. So I guess it wasn't a problem with the Wi-Fi driver after all.
