rtl8192eu-linux-driver VS USB-WiFi

this driver = https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver easily works with ubuntu but alas not with debian

I did install this rtl8192eu-linux-driver program (GitHub link) in an attempt to fix things, this may have helped me connect for a bit in the first place/ provide me with the "Wifi Network" interface at the top right, though I'm not too sure.

So I did the steps as the driver repository suggests and it seems worked. :)

Ok I fixed it, install rtl8192eu driver (if thats what you are using, I'm using a tplink tl-wn823n) by following the guide on its github page here.

you could try the DKMS section here and see how you get on: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

including a link to this driver which has an option to download a zip file (instead of using git) if you click on the green Code button near the top of the page: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

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
