Hey I am trying to connect a Wifi dongle to BELA.
https://www.elextra.dk/da-DK/p/H24905?utm_source=GoogleAds&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KCQjwx5qoBhDyARIsAPbMagDcgBkqePCHJ6s9A8WNn9c9M7w_OnpL7QlLajPuOqTWNgjZ5OsN7MgaAhJqEALw_wcB
It uses the Chipset: Realtek 8811AU and should be compatible with this driver which I need to install; https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
I tried following the approach from this thread https://forum.bela.io/d/546-wifi-dongle and was able to succesfully download the driver, however the wifi dongle still will not show me wlan0 after inputting the "ip a" command.

the rtl8812au driver is installed on my BELA.
running the ip a gives me the following

I dont know if I am installing the driver in a wrong place, or if I am using an outdated driver, or something different...
Hope you can help me!
