This issue is for Mageia 8 and it is currently in the beta1 stage.

The ‎802.11ac NIC description for the device comes under the heading of unknown/other for Kernel 5.7.12 in the hardware section of the control center and it works perfectly as the information below records. 

I can only assume the module is not configured for the 5.8 series Kernel properly.

Comment 10 ian trump 2020-08-23 16:44:42 CEST
I confirm the Adapter now works as before but I do have a concern as to the correct location of the device in the hardware section of the control center as it shows up as listed on the section marked unknown/other.

Should it not reside in the section marked Ethernetcard as I have an older USB dongle that was registered there when it was in use.
