How to install netgear AC1200 (model A6150), wifi dongle

pw flag

I am trying to install my new netgear wifi usb dongle AC1200 (A6150) on my Kubuntu 20.04. More specifically my system setup:

mainline 1.0.18
Distribution: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Architecture: amd64
Running kernel: 5.19.17-051917-generic

The system can read the device via lsusb which reads as follows: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9055 NetGear, Inc. A6150; however I cannot manage to install it properly nor know if I am using it. Unfortunately where I live the internet is so bad it is barely workable with, so I hope that by stabilizing my connection I get minimal improvements. Please keep things simple as Linux is my hobby and I am an amateur but now I ended up with my personal laptop to work with.

HERE ARE SOME OUTPUT:

I changed what I think it is sensitive data in the iwconfig output.

try `sudo dkms install rtl88x2bu/5.8.7.1` and report any errors, if there are no errors reboot
pw flag
this is what I get: `Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtl88x2bu/5.8.7.1/source -> /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-5.8.7.1 DKMS: add completed. Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.0.1-060001-generic cannot be found. Please install the linux-headers-6.0.1-060001-generic package, or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located`
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
