Try `sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms`. It does build for the 5.19 kernel.

If it doesn't help, post output of `lsusb` to your question.

OK, then please add output of `usb-devices | awk '/9053/' RS=` and `grep rtl /etc/modprobe.d/*` and `dkms status`.

Your installed drivers didn't build with the new kernel. Create a temporary internet connection by wire, phone, etc and run:

sudo apt purge rtl8812au-dkms
sudo dkms remove realtek-rtl88xxau/5.6.4.2~20220606 --all
sudo dkms remove 8812au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 --all
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo make dkms_install
sudo modprobe 88XXau

This will remove old drivers and install a new one that should build and work.

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.
