@dysfun@social.treehouse.systems this looks like it may be a bug to me. the error is a bit ambiguous here, i believe it's the c function failing to find the relevant sysctl, not the program failing to find the c function.

@linear so one thing is i can only see the pci device listed in dmesg, there's no interface device using it afaict. so i did wonder if it was failing to find the device or something

@dysfun@social.treehouse.systems at the very least this error message could be less ambiguous

but what it indicates is, i think, that it couldn't find anything to list

@dysfun@social.treehouse.systems so check that your device is actually present?

@dysfun@social.treehouse.systems is it listed in ifconfig?

@linear no, it isn't. it's an RTL8821CE apparently
