As those reading this list will know, I've recently acquired a new HP laptop, and have had some adventures in linux setup.
I thought that I'd solved my networking issues, but have found the internal wifi won't play nice with avahi-discover and especially printer installation. A tiny TP-link USB wifi did work UNTIL I found a driver at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89, but now trying both gives no wifi at all and some messages about Realtek RTL 8188EUS (I think this is the one in the box) and Realtek Renoir GPP Bridge, and actually says "wifi disabled". An older TPLink TL-WN321G works fine and drives printer and allows ".local" connection. I've found a possible update to the FIRMWARE at https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg212019.html and have downloaded the .bin file, but I'm reluctant to try executing that before I know more. Some related comments are at https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg212457.html Anyone have suggestions? I'm out of my comfort zone here.
