      MSGID: <10k0dd2$3v07j$1@dont-email.me> 484bfa72       PID: PyGate 1.5.2       TID: PyGate/Linux 1.5.2       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: 1100       REPLYADDR bp@www.zefox.net       REPLYTO 3:633/10 UUCP       I'm using an RTL8812BU wifi adapter which is behaving suspiciously.        When signal strengths and throughput deteriorate the USB subsystem,       including the keyboard and pointing device, become unreliable.              This is on an old RPi2B, so armv7.               Is there a way to search for and install updates relevant to that       specific device? It's already known that a general update will break       support for a needed peripheral, an Owon USB oscilloscope. It's        necessary to be at least somewhat choosy              From what I can tell the RTL8812BU isn't very widely supported,       FreeBSD doesn't even try. I'm hopeful RasPiOS does somewhat better.              Thanks for reading,              bob prohaska                      --- PyGate Linux v1.5.2        * Origin: Dragon's Lair, PyGate NNTP<>Fido Gate (3:633/10)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 134 200 206 275 300 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 616 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/10 280 414 418 420 422       SEEN-BY: 633/509 2744 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 633/10 280 229/426           |
