USB-WiFi VS rtl8188eus

I've already had a look at this but unsure how often it's updated, 6 months ago according to github: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md

Just google "raspberry pi wifi adapter" or see https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Just a note that if you're _serious_ about WiFi on the Raspberry Pi... you should use an external WiFi adapter—either PCIe or USB.

With the Compute Module 4, I've successfully tested a variety of adapters [1], from WiFi 6E to older mini PCIe and M.2 cards. There's even a board made for the purpose of multi-WiFi testing, the Seaberry [2].

The Raspberry Pi 5 works with all the PCIe WiFi chips I've tested (haven't had time to summarize testing on pipci database site yet, including a mt7921u-based WiFi 6E USB adapter (haven't written that up, but check out [3]).

Hey all, I've read the Github list of Linux WiFi adapters (https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md) but I've seen sporadic comments of certain users saying some haven't worked for them. I'm a bit risk averse buying something most likely from the USA and waiting a while for it to get to Australia and it not work, so I was hoping some people could comment with their specific models that have worked for them.

It would. These should work, as clients and in AP mode. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

you can also search on github for the drivers, this one hosted by arhcrack-ng says it supports kernel 6+ and was last updated two weeks ago.

Anyhow, this is a bug report for the same issue: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus/issues/224

The driver is an old build that is supposed to be compiled in the 4.1.4 kernel, and it says that is for the RTL8188EUS but when i did lsusb linux detects the adapter as RTL8188FTV. I tried to compile it with the shell script provided by the disk but it ends in an error when trying to call prandom i think? I did a bit of digging and found that it has something to do with some dependencies that were renamed on newer kernels. So, i tried to find a newer version of the driver online and after opening a hole trough this imaginary wall with headbutts I found and installed https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus but it didn't work as expected and the adapter was still undetected. I did some more digging and found some post over the garuda linux forums about the RTL8188FTV and found a package on the AUR that actually worked on the 6.1 kernel. But again despite appearing with lsmod and being listed as being used by one device;
