I've been following this gh-repo to manually install Realtek drivers on Ubuntu (22.04).
My understanding so far is that this specific card is not being properly "recognized" by Linux, so manual driver installation is a workaround.
Over the past months, after each kernel update the issue would re-emerge and on dir rtl8852be
I would re-run the following commands:
make clean
make
sudo make install
Ubuntu would recognize the Network Card again and everything would work just fine.
Today, after Ubuntu update, on system reboot I got the expected problem. Followed the usual steps, but on
make
got the following unexpected error:
#rm -f .symvers.8852be

I'm very little knowledgeable in Linux and C, so I thank you in advance for your patience.
At the moment I can't connect using the WI-FI.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
