Arno, Hmm i have no problems regarding the visual part. That might be because i run a different version. Also i have no problems running a VPN. Currently i have 2 wireguards open and 1 openvpn. I think its time to bring in a maintainer for kernel modules. Now that we know that there need to be

Hi Arno, please read comment number 5, i posted the answer there. You can swap out 'dev_get_tstats64' for 'usbnet_get_stats64' again (line 1030). the 'usbnet_get_stats64' had to be changed out for 21.10 but that might be different for 20.04. Just revert it back or or use the orignal tarball.

This xz contains the working files for the kernel module. Including the ax88179_178a.ko.orig as this is the original kernel driver that has been supplied with ubuntu 21.10. ax88179_178a.ko (148k) is the compiled kernel driver that I have compiled. ** Attachment added: "ax88179_178a kernel driver
