Hi Xose,

I'm not sure, I have the latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop and I
had to use the DKMS -2 deb file to get it working as no driver claimed
it.

After Googeling (especially for the 0bda:818b USB device and vendor
ID), it seemed the driver supported most of Realtek's WiFi devices but
mine wasn't listed.

>From memory, I used this page mainly when I was first checking:
https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x

I didn't see any people in forums mentioning how they managed to get
this standard driver working, they all seemed to either have no luck
because code didn't compile, or link to source code that did compile.

If that mainline driver does work, then I assume there could be some
USB vendor and device IDs that it doesn't cover.

Here's the link for where I bought it:
