Remember that in-kernel drivers in Linux come in 2 or more parts. There is what is normally called the driver, which is part of the kernel, and the firmware, which may be 1 or more files, is not part of the kernel. Firmware files are part of the distro and have to be installed and updated by the maintainers of your distros or by you. Some distros do not install firmware, Debian, prior to version 12, is an example. Therefore you may to need to install the firmware yourself depending on your Linux distro. You can check the [firmware](./How_to_Install_Firmware_for_Mediatek_based_USB_WiFi_adapters.md) , see appropriate section, to see if firmware needs to be installed or upgraded. Keep in mind that firmware file names do not change so you have to compare file sizes, dates or version to determine if you have the latest version. The symptom of a missing firmware is that the adapter does not show up on boot... just like if there is no driver in your kernel. To repeat, adapters that use in-kernel drivers, to function properly, the driver (module) is required AND the firmware is required. The absence of either will cause the adapter to not show up on boot. All of the more popular mainstream desktop have everything in place. This includes but is not limited to current releases of Ubuntu (and all of its puppies), Debian, fedora, Manjaro, Raspberry Pi OS and many more.
