Ok, I see. That looks like them. Do you just use insmod? On Mon, Feb 13, 2023, 7:29 AM Ralf Corsépius <rc040203(a)freenet.de&gt; wrote:

insmod is the original low level way to do it and you need the full path and module filename. modprobe knows the correct kernel and knows where all modules are supposed to be install so should just work(assuming a depmod was run to build the name -> filename mappings). dmesg | grep -i rt28 and see if it finds a device. if it does then "ip link show" if it does not work do a lsusb and return that output. the ID xxxx:xxxx needs to be shown in the modinfo as an alias, if not the module does not see the device as something it is a driver for.

If you have the kernel-modules package, you should have a rt2800usb.ko.xz. -- Jonathan Billings
