Hi @markbroda

Is there a question in there somewhere that I missed?

Sorry It was in the title of the thread. UGREEN Wifi6 AX900 USB no driver for Fedora 40 or Rocky 9.5? I tried every which way to hack drivers or build them and I was unsuccessful. I was curious if there was work being done on that chipset that I have.

So, you are looking for a driver for a Realtek based WiFi 6 USB WiFi adapters. Recommend you read the following:

#449

The best advice I can give you is to get your money back and get a good adapter.

I do my best to help users of USB WiFi adapters on Linux but your adapter falls into a category that may make you unhappy for a long time.

Reading menu items 1 and 2 are recommended.
