In an earlier thread, a panda dongle was recommended. Is this a panda dongle ? What model did you get ?.................
Thanks for replying again Steve.
Yes, but I could not find one in Australia. The international shipping is prohibitive, at least for the minimal and rare use that the intended machine will be used.
Also, I have limited time before going away to a venue where I could use this: I would not receive it in time if I ordered from the US.
So I bought this one on ebay on the chance it will work: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265289412820
Maybe it will, maybe it won't.

Can you link to the instructions you are following ?
Steve
Ok, I will explain further.
I have an older desktop, details in the terminal results above, which I want to plug in an external USB WiFi adapter (dongle?). Please see the above link for a picture of the device.
I am following this list of instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1018375/...-for-rtl88
I did get so far as to find the most suitable driver (please see above terminal results). It is showing as installed, but "not loaded" whatever that means.
I would like to fix this and get the driver working, and as a result, get the WiFi working on this computer.
Apologies for any confusion and lack of information.
Jim.
