I have tried three different WiFi dongles so far, but unfortunately none of them work. Can someone help me get them running? DietPi is installed on a Rock64 with RK3328 (aarch64).
WiFi dongles tested:
probably some additional drivers are needed like GitHub - morrownr/8812au-20210820: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8812AU Chipset - v5.13.6-23
this one seems to be in the list GitHub - morrownr/8812au-20210820: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8812AU Chipset - v5.13.6-23
I haven’t had experiences, that’s why I would be grateful if you could show me how to install

There is suggest the solution. But as the kernel package is a meta package, better use the same for headers, so both get updated together:
apt install linux-headers-current-rockchip64
I installed install linux-headers-current-rockchip64 but I get the same error again.
