Do you carry any family pictures in your wallet?

Some car brands are very specific...

Today, I learned what PFO means. English is a very polite language :)

Are you into entomology?

Germans not using Ü instead of :) is a huge missed opportunity.

Trying to test the new Mint 21. Installed OK. Connecting to network fails (no support for RTL88x2BU device).

Found a couple of solutions:

(1): https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=330579

(2): https://ip-life.net/install-realtek-rtl88x2bu-wireless-drivers-linux-mint/

But they all require Internet access, so it's Catch 22.

I am dual-booting this machine, I have net access from Windows (which, by the way, supports this net adapter immediately without having to install anything).

Any ideas how I can get the driver to work in Linux in this scenario?

Anyone?

Currently reading: FUTU.RE by D Glukhovsky. Unlike Metro, which didn't click with me despite my many attempts, this one seems brilliant after reading the first 4 chapters. We'll see.
