Hi Team, 

I am running a VOXL2 and trying to connect wifi with this [LM843](https://www.lm-technologies.com/product/wifi-802-11ac-bluetooth-5-0-2t2r-combi-usb-module-lm843/) module. It works with my ubuntu 22.04 System so I can confirm the module is working.
However, using the USB breakoutboard and connecting the wifi module yields no result. It's also not showing up in ifconfig, lsusb or dmesg.

According to the vendor it supports linux kernel 2.6.24 - 5.18.
The drivers provided by the vendor don't compile either due to missing kernel headers (4.19.125). I only find 4.15.xx installed.

Any hint how i can get this running?
Thanks in advance

Phil

@astro_phil , unfortunately if the device is not automatically being detected by VOXL2, you may be on your own in terms of building the kernel module for it. Please search the forum for building kernel modules, as some users have tried this. Specifically, this one : https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3841/voxl2-kernel-version/ and maybe a few others as well.
