I've been thinking about switching back to Solus, from Manjaro. The last time I tried installing Solus, a few weeks ago, I had some problems with intermittent internet connection. Towards the end, I only had minutes between successful connection.

There is a built-in RLT8187 wireless card in my laptop, but I just purchased a new device (not realizing it was ALSO Realtek), but it's an RLT8188EUS.

Is anyone else running the 8188EUS? Any issues? If so, any suggestions for getting around the wireless cards?

Thank you in advance!

Realtek can be a real pita, I had to compile it against the kernel on my wife's Arch rig and it remained still intermittent.
So, what I have done is ripping this card out and replaced it with an Intel card, nice and cheap from Ali.

No need for an extra driver.

just test it in live mode then you can also test other things

putzerstammer The last time I installed Solus on that laptop, it ran fine in live mode, but the next day I started dropping the internet every couple of minutes. It got downright unusable.

Thanks @George.

    @George I have Realtek wifi adaptor RTL8822be. It was working perfectly fine until today when I ran a system update.
    After updating the system and a reboot, wifi isn't able to identify any available networks.

    Kernel version is:
    Linux 5.6.19-158.current x86_64
    Laptop:
    Lenovo Legion Y530

    I would really appreciate if you or anyone else could help me to resolve this. I am really struggling to get it working.

      Hi, I have tried installing the driver, got an error

      ./make
make: *** /lib/modules/5.6.19-158.current/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

      George sudo modprobe r8822be
      modprobe: FATAL: Module r8822be not found in directory /lib/modules/5.6.19-158.current
