As title says, I'm trying to get the A7000 USB WiFi adapter working on a Thinkpad laptop with Ubuntu 18.04.
I followed the instructions in this post which were to go:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8814au.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8814au
sudo dkms build -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21
sudo dkms install -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21
Then reboot. All steps appeared to be completed successfully, such that now when I type the last command, I get the expected message:
$ sudo dkms install -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21
Module rtl8814au/4.3.21 already installed on kernel 5.3.0-42-generic/x86_64
But STILL, iwconfig does not show the device (just my normal builtin wifi, and no wireless extensions for lo and enp0s31f6), while lsusb indicates it's there (Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9054 NetGear, Inc.).
Any thoughts, friends?
