How to install the driver for the Realtek RTL8188FTV WiFi Adapter in mx linux!

[siamhie]

You got it, those were instructions on how to post your QSI.

So, this shows that your WiFi is up... are you trying to add a secondary WiFi Adapter?

I am exhausted from trying to install the driver for the Realtek RTL8188FTV WiFi Adapter on another laptop, where I successfully installed MX Linux, but could not install the driver. So, I was trying to help by developing a snapshot after installing the driver with the WiFi Adapter in this laptop. Can someone please help me install a driver for the Realtek RTL8188FTV WiFi Adapter?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Post the QSI from the laptop you are having problems with. Not the working one.

From some searches it looks like the rtl8xxxu module should be a driver for the RTL8188FTV wifi adapter

but it's not in the 6.1 debian bookworm kernel, it was added to kernel starting with 6.2 kernels.

The simple way without reinstalling MX is to add the ahs section to the MX repository, upgrade everything, and then upgrade your kernel using MXPI to one >= 6.2, and then rebooting to that kernel.

You could check beforehand by running a LiveUSB of the MX AHS edition to make sure the wi-fi works.
