decided to recompile my backup of the previous working driver to test
it as the driver seemed to be a little spotty for me turning off at
times, could be explained by the fact i was connecting to a network
that required login but still it was being inconsistent for a bit

it works fine after recompiling and rebooting after a sudo make
install, didn't even need to modprobe

This is still on the 5.19.9-arch1-1 kernel, i would've tried ignoring
the version magic thing if it failed, but as far as I can see, it
didn't

i dont know whats being changed or if they are suppose to be
meaningful, but in my use case, your current updated version of the
driver, as well as 2 versions prior, seem to have this spotty problem
with the "create virtual connection" condition to even get it
workingthe first one was more noticeable and evident, whereas this
time it seemed to only do it after a while, or maybe my internet at a
university building requireing a login page is just being stupid, but
at the very least, it allowed me to send this very email i am sending,
so i guess it works, right?

Thanks for the driver, and thanks for the help in a previous email
