(I do have the cinnamon network manager on, but later I plan to use this adapter on other machines which won't have that.) I'll mention that for quite a few years I had grown accustomed to wi-fi networking "just working", and no longer quite remember what to do with ip, iwlist and friends. I'd rather use the command line for this. My question: Can I get the USB WiFi adapter fully recognized and configured? If so, how? I've run the wireless-info-script, and the results are here but note that my system has another wifi adapter, on-board, which is working fine (but unused) and an active Ethernet connection, so don't mistake those ( eth0, wlan0) for the missing USB WiFi adapter. However, it doesn't show up with ip link show.

Well, lsusb says: Bus 001 Device 038: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. I've bought and plugged in a USB WiFi adapter, a UGreen AC650.
