Hi there,
Finally back onto Solus after the 4.3 release that was preventing me out.
However, I do have an another little issue, not one that should prevent me however.
I've switched from a cabled PLC connection, to a WI-FI connection using a Wifi adapter, a TP-Link AC1300 T3U Plus which sadly at my surprise, doesn't have a dedicated Linux driver for this specific model.
After booting into Solus, it seems that this specific Wifi adaptator, doesn't have it included into the kernel either.
So, here's time for me to check a third-party driver to install.
Thankfully for me, I seems to have found one which install the Realtek RTL88x2B chipset driver necessary for this adaptator to work. https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver
However, already knowing that Solus kernel doesn't support dkms modules install, i've decided to do the manual sort driver install that this repo propose.
However, just at the compilation setup, It already block me at compiling the driver for the kernel i use.

Indicating the specific kernel doesn't change anything either into the setup.

Is there a step that I've missed, or should i just completly throw that freshly bought Wifi-Adaptator away ?
