macbook doesn't detect usb wifi adapter
Hi,
I connected a wifi usb adapter to my macbook, but it doesn't recognise it as a network adapter.
The usb port and device work fine, as the device appears in the list of usb devices:
% ioreg -p IOUSB | fgrep NIC
+-o 802.11n NIC@14200000 <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x10001bfe8, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 12>
(this line appears only when the wifi usb adapter is plugged, so that's really it)
But it doesn't materialize as a new network adapter.
I'm using mac os 11.6 and the adapter is a netsys wf2123 (based on RTL8192EU).
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6
