Long Story Short. I have what I THINK is my WI-Fi device that is named
realtek rtl8111/8168/8411 pci express gigabit Ethernet controller
which is detected by some wi-fi manager but can't be used?
I don't know what information you guys need to help but this is what I know, oh and its beginner since im a beginner Linux user. I know very basic linux commands
I have a Debian cinnamon 10th version and that's all I know, please help.
and excuse that bad typing, first time writing in a forum

Why do you think, that it cannot be used?
As described in https://packages.debian.org/buster/r8168-dkms, some types of such cards works with driver included in kernel, another need this non-free package.

That driver requires a non-free (slaveware) driver to function.
You could add the non-free repo install the non-free-firmware package
Or save yourself a years of pain and gain the self satisfaction for giving it to the man by spending a few buck on a wifi card that works with free-software.
I did. cost me $2

this is the type of pain I refer to.

If Debian is recognizing it and it is in the list of devices are you sure it isn't your network settings?SomeoneWithNoSmarts wrote:Imma look into the open source wi-fi card, and see if i can follow the guide u sent me, and the realtek is my wi-fi that is aviable in the icon for the wifi setting but the debian refuse to connect to it

That's not your wi-fi device! Look closer at what the output says:
Ethernet is a wired network device. You'll need to show us the actual device.
Do you have a Net connection with the wired NIC or via a tethered phone? If so, install inxi, then run in a terminal as root or with sudo to update your device ID database:
then as a normal user
If you don't have a connection, give us the output of
