Have two usb wifi adapters using Realtek chips that were noted to be supported in the recent kernels. One is now seen but the other is not. Both show in the list from
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL88x2bu [AC1200 Techkey]
The RTL88x2bu adapter connects. TheRTL8812AU is not on the network list. It connected with the kernel 6.12.x series using a driver src from .git and dkms.
What does it mean that the RTL8812AU device is seen but not enabled?
