Your QSI shows that you aren't using any of those dkms wi-fi driver packages that make up most of your output above, so I'd recommend removing them. Let's see, I'm not great at the CLI. You could search for installed -dkms packages using "Status" in Synaptic, or in MXPI, or simulate removal with apt:

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove -s *-dkms
The stuff that will actually be removed appears at the end of that long output. You can run the command for reals by removing the "-s" (simulate) flag in that command.
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

;) Heres what i always do in a fresh VM ...

Code: Select all

apt policy rtl8812au-dkms &&	apt purge rtl8812au-dkms
apt policy rtl8821cu-dkms &&	apt purge rtl8821cu-dkms
apt policy rtl8821ce-dkms &&	apt purge rtl8821ce-dkms
apt policy broadcom-sta-dkms && apt purge broadcom-sta-dkms

Thanks! Though I'm pretty sure you can also just "sudo apt purge package1 package2 package3..." instead.
