I am trying to get wifi to work as my uplink for proxmoxVE.
My USB wifi card is:
root@pve:/etc/network# lsusb
Bus 012 Device 004: ID 0bda:a811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8811AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter
And i think i found the correct driver for it https:// github com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 by following forum level1techs com/t/install-realtek-wifi-driver-on-popos/200201/2
I gett a error message saying that I don’t have the correct kernel header files to build the driver.
root@pve:~/src/8821au-20210708# ./install-driver.sh
Your kernel header files aren't properly installed.
Please consult your distro documentation or user support forums.
Once the header files are properly installed, please run "sudo ./install-driver.sh"
I installed the proxmoxVE kernel headers as acording to forum proxmox com /threads/help-installing-linux-headers-linux-headers-generic.84384/
root@pve:/lib/modules# ls
6.1.0-17-amd64 6.2.16-20-pve 6.2.16-3-pve 6.5.11-7-pve
The install script check for kernel headers with:
# check to see if the correct header files are installed
if [ ! -d "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build" ]; then
echo "Your kernel header files aren't properly installed."
echo "Please consult your distro documentation or user support forums."
echo "Once the header files are properly installed, please run \"sudo ./${SCRIPT_NAME}\""
exit 1
I have a module folder that matches the path in:
root@pve:/lib/modules# uname -r
6.2.16-3-pve
root@pve:/lib/modules# cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
root@pve:/lib/modules/6.2.16-3-pve# ls
kernel modules.alias.bin modules.builtin.alias.bin modules.builtin.modinfo modules.dep.bin modules.order modules.symbols zfs
modules.alias modules.builtin modules.builtin.bin modules.dep modules.devname modules.softdep modules.symbols.bin
But there is no build folder in the module that I got fror proxmox.
Q: Why wifi?
A: My rental contract only provides wifi networking.
Q: Wount that be slow?
A: I have a direct wiered conection between my steamdeck and my proxmoxVE old gaming pc.
Q: How do you currently reach the internet?
A: Using ip forwarding on my steamdeck.
What do i need to do to get wifi to work so I don’t need to use forwarding on my steamdeck?
