Hello Mario,
thank you very much for your support on this topic!!
I followed your instruction and got the below message when running the wifi-install.
Do you have any advise? In understood that the Edimax-7612UAn basically runs with the driver rtl8192cu.
But the scrit seems not to support that, only rtl8192eu is supported.
Any idea?

Checking for a wifi module to determine the driver to install.

Your wifi module is unrecognised.

**** Unable to identify your wifi module ****

The script only works for wifi modules using the rtl8188eu, rtl8188fu, rtl8192eu, rtl8812au, rtl8821cu, 8822bu, mt7610 and mt7612 drivers.

Looking for your wifi module the script detected the following USB devices:-

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7822 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

If you are certain your module uses one of the drivers the script installs check the output of command
‚lsusb‘ shows your wifi module. If lsusb shows your wifi module try running the script again. If the
script fails to detect your wifi module again the driver may need updating to add your module USB id.

If lsusb does not show your wifi module you will need to resolve that issue before the script can be
used to install the driver you need.

Thanks again for all your efforts in advance!
Best regards,
Michael
