Hi Guys, yesterday I decided to switch from Windows to Debian. So I’m new to Debian and Linux in general.

The installation worked fine but i have problems connecting to the Internet and hope you can help. What I did so far:

After installing the 3gb Debian 12 version from the website i connected to the internt via lan. Then I used sudo apt-get update and upgrade.

Since I got an error (something about a cd rom) I changed the sources.list to bookworm and bookworm-backport. I repeated the process and it worked. Afterwards I cloned the driver from git hub for my alpha network Adapter https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au and followed the readme for installation.

Afterwards I restarted and I was quite happy to see the WLAN option in the upper right corner. But my problem now is, that i don’t see any WLAN ssid i could connect to. If i use ‘IP link show’ the wlan connection is there and if I us lsusb I can see the Adapter.

I thought maybe the kernel is not up to date I use 6.1.115-1. But I couldnt make the update work so far.

Does someone got an idea what the Problem could be?
