Larry,

Thanks for your prior assistance with the rtw88 module.=C2=A0 Since manua=
lly
compiling and installing works correctly, I have been working to
register the software in dkms, but am running into some difficulties.=C2=A0=

Below are some snippets from a terminal session to illustrate the issue:

udo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6

As you can see, the make log does not show any errors, which is baffling
to me.=C2=A0 Any insight you have on resolving this issue would be apprec=
iated.

Sincerely,

David R. Bergstein
