+ I recently recommended a TP-Link TL-WN722N to an UbuntuCore customer
asking for a recommendation of a USB wifi adapter with external antenna
for the RPi since i use this card in various RPi projects ...
trying it on UC22 it turns out that the module driving this card is not
included in the pi-kernel snap.
in fact the staging dir seems to mostly be empty ... the same kernel on
classic includes the needed r8188eu.ko module via the linux-modules-extra
package.
it seems like we do not include linux-modules-extra in the 5.15 pi-
kernel snap at all which is a regression compared to former pi-kernel
snaps where this wifi card works fine.
+
+ [Fix]
+
+ Move r8188eu module to linux-modules so that it ends up in the pi-kernel
+ snap.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Check pi-kernel snap content.
+
+ [Where Problems Could Occur]
+
+ Machines that have a USB NIC that needs this driver -> kernel crashes,
+ stack traces, ...
