Ubuntu 20.04: I cannot compile latest ndiswrapper

I have installed an Ubuntu 20.04 and I cannot found any working driver for 0bda:d723 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11n WLAN Adapter.

So I decided to use a windows driver, but when I install ndiswrapper by apt install, modprobe is not worked for me (it cannot find a ndiswrapper module). After that I have removed the installed ndiswrapper by apt remove.

Later I 've tried to download ndiswrapper and install by make install, but it gives me a compile error:

home/tomi/ndiswrapper-1.63/driver/loader.c: In function ‘load_sys_files’:
/home/tomi/ndiswrapper-1.63/driver/loader.c:157:4: error: too many arguments to function ‘__vmalloc’

Does this answer your question? [Installing Wi-Fi driver for Realtek Semiconductor RTL8723DE Device \[10ec:d723\]](https://askubuntu.com/questions/983251/installing-wi-fi-driver-for-realtek-semiconductor-rtl8723de-device-10ecd723) No, you can't use ndiswrapper, itwas abandoned a long time ago (and never worked properly anyway).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
