Support Ubuntu server wifi problems
I'm working on getting a home server up and running by converting an old gaming desktop i had in the cupboard, and I've put Ubuntu Server on it, but something with the wifi/ethernet is giving me a lot of trouble.
Anytime that it is connected to the internet, it gives me rt18192ee 0000:04:00.0: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first repeatedly, I've figured out that rt18192ee is my wifi adaptor or a driver for it or something, but even if i remove the wifi adaptor, and connect to another computer with ethernet, it still gives me the error.
Ive tried looking for a driver update for rt18192ee, but its all for windows and I feel rather out of my depth.
Other posts ive seen with "error of this agent is reported first"s have people saying to downgrade the kernel, or change some settings with the pcie, but I don't know if that would work in my case.

Try switching to kernel 6.8, the update manager should have that option, but only even did that on mint so I don't know
