erik I flashed with the newest RPi OS and still dongle is not detected, when doing lsusb, I am getting the list with the device in it:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0bda:b711 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188GU 802.11n WLAN Adapter (After Modeswitch)

and I followed following post and I am getting on make step and errors are like this:

make ARCH=aarch64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/6.1.21-v8+/build M=/home/cm4/Downloads/rtl8188gu modules

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.1.21-v8+/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

make: *** [Makefile:1895: modules] Error 2

    erik Hey, forgot to attach the repo in previous reply I tried the same repo, I am getting error on make step:

    This doesn't look that straight forward.. We will grab the same wifi dongle and prepare a new RPI OS image that has drivers installed for this dongle.

      erik thanks for the support, please share the process here also it will be useful for future reference also.

      @erik Is there any update or you can arrange alternate WiFi dongle which works? I waited a long time for this!

      erik I flashed twice, first time wifi was working but login was not working

      Second time login is working but wifi is hit and miss.

      By hit and miss I mean it shows connecting and sometimes connects:
