I have a USB wireless adapter that every boot up needs to be unplugged and plugged back in every time ubuntu loads to work. After that, it works fine but I am wondering if anyone knows something I can do to stop this needing to happen. From lsusb,it is "TP-Link TL-WN822N Version 4 RTL8192EU"

I ran the command two times. First time, when just booted and not working.
Second time after I've replugged it and it's working:Code:*-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:05:00.0 logical name: enp5s0 version: 15 serial: 40:b0:76:9d:cc:4f capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 firmware=rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes port=MII resources: irq:26 ioport:e000(size=256) memory:fe704000-fe704fff memory:fe700000-fe703fff *-usb:1 description: Wireless interface product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter vendor: Realtek physical id: 2 bus info: usb@1:2 logical name: wlx98ded0193b37 version: 2.00 serial: 98:de:d0:19:3b:37 capabilities: usb-2.10 ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtl8xxxu driverversion=5.4.0-48-generic firmware=N/A link=no maxpower=500mA multicast=yes speed=480Mbit/s wireless=IEEE 802.11
I noticed they weren't exactly the same, I don't know whether that's noteworthy.Code:*-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:05:00.0 logical name: enp5s0 version: 15 serial: 40:b0:76:9d:cc:4f capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 firmware=rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes port=MII resources: irq:26 ioport:e000(size=256) memory:fe704000-fe704fff memory:fe700000-fe703fff *-network description: Wireless interface physical id: 1 bus info: usb@1:2 logical name: wlx98ded0193b37 serial: 98:de:d0:19:3b:37 capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtl8xxxu driverversion=5.4.0-48-generic firmware=N/A ip=192.168.1.101 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11Comment

Have you tried disabling secure boot? https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspo...altek.html#ID2 It looks like you have to. If disabling secure boot doesn't work I would follow these instructions and install from scratch.Comment

I don't have secure boot enabled.
ubuntu-drivers devices shows no results.Comment

https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver this mentions something about forcing driver to be active from boot. Sorry, not an expert, I look for ideas and try solutions. I would try both methods and if I couldn't get it working get a different adapter.Comment

These are different drivers. If I disable the one it says, I can't use it at all. I used to use the driver there with 18.04 because it wasn't recognised at all there but I still had the same issue. I also had to add the module every single kernel update which was annoying but at least that was fixed with 20.04.Comment
