Wifi adapter for Realtek b852

gw flag

I purchased a new laptop with Ryzen 5 processor and installed Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS. I followed this guide to setup my wifi adapter: wifi Adapter not found realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe in ubuntu 22.04.

However, after building rtl8852be, when I try sudo modprobe 8852be, it gives me the error modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8852be': Operation not permitted.

How should I proceed?

Edit

When I rebooted after switching off secure boot, I am now able to connect to WiFi.

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.
