Just noticed
Last Updated: 2020-09-03, v4.4.1-3 & linked upstream GH repo is https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver
“flagged rtl8192eu out-of-date on 2021-10-12 (UTC)”
But which Linux Mint forum members suggested (article) is the official one https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux & v5.2.19.1
I think it’s better to use the latest official Driver.
