The driver is Installed completely, but not working. What should I check for next?

Hi, thank you for sharing this awesome work.
My problem is that I checked the driver was Installed well, but my wifi is not turning on.
Could you help me what I can do for next?

Here is my environment information.

  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Kernel 5.13.0-51-generic
  • Device: USB wifi adaptor (EFM ipTIME A5000UA)
  • The wifi adaptor uses USB 3.0.

Hi @yosungho

Let's see what is inside that adapter before continuing. Please run and post the results of the following:

That confirms this is the correct driver.

Time to do some more digging. Can you run and post the results of the following:

$ sudo uname -a; mokutil --sb-state; rfkill list all; dkms status; iw dev

This is the results:
$ sudo uname -a; mokutil --sb-state; rfkill list all; dkms status; iw dev

My next recommendation is for you to go into the bios and turn off SecureBoot so as to see if that may be causing a problem.

dkms is telling us the driver is installed but no wifi interface is showing.

It works after disabling SecureBoot. I appreciate you.
