It got you from point A to point B, didn't it?

If there were more silent potesters, you would think they'd actually wonder why that is happening ๐Ÿค”.

Fine by me ๐Ÿคท.

If the card supports at least WPA2, it should support WPA2 Enterprise as well. Only cards manufactured in the last few years support WPA3. I doubt they would enforce WPA3 only.

The proprietary stuff is shipped as "firmware" (even though that's not always the case) allongside the distro's kernel. My best guess is that some distro out there (Ubuntu most probably) has obtained permission from a bunch of manufacturers to ship this "firmware" allongside it's kernel. The rest of the distro's are just riding this train, repackaging the firmware packages (if they can do it and redistribute it, why can't we ๐Ÿคท).

I might be mistaken, but this is the only thing that makes sense to me. Maybe it's a semi-coordinated joint effor as well, like someone obtains permission to share firmware, writes to a bunch of maintainers and devs that "this and this" binary blob is free for redistribution and it gets picked up by most popular distros out there.

Yeah, it works with less and less apps. The custom patches are good though, but they require you to have THE EXACT SAME version that the author had ๐Ÿ˜’. It's noted, but hard to obtain most of the time (usually, a few versions behind the lastes available).

Oh, makes sense now ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Wow, that is a lot. All 4 cores are at almost max... and not even passive cooling... that can be a problem.

Hm, have you tried compiling it natively? Like for best optmization. Maybe add some hardware switches to make/cmake/whatever-it-uses-for-building?

Trust me, it is. There is some obscure hardware out there. Plus, a lot of us still use hardware that was late XP time released and ndiswrapper was still around. So, for some of these cards, there is still no drivers for Linux (or buggy/unstable ones).

No, I would rather keep that to myself. I think you get the idea though (it's a plaugue in almost any Balkan country).

I could share that info in private if you'd like.

Extra points for figuring out how to do it with LuckyPatcher.

Many... too many to list.
