List of working hardware configurations up to date?

Hi everyone, I am new to linux and trying to set up the tiny-check with the hardware described in the wiki list of working hardware-configurations for Rasperry Pi 4 Model B (last entry in the list):

Raspberry Pi 4B | Raspberry Pi OS 10 (buster) | Asus Wi-FI N150 -N10 Nano B1 (needs driver, see details below) | Official 7 touchscreen display

The instructions say that you need to install a driver with

cd /tmp/
wget http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188eu-drivers/8188eu-5.4.83-v7l-1379.tar.gz 
tar zxvf 8188eu-5.4.83-v7l-1379.tar.gz
sudo bash install.sh 

but I got this error message

pi@tinycheck:/tmp $ sudo bash install.sh
sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.83-v7l+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
install: reguläre Datei
'/lib/modules/5.4.83-v7l+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless' kann nicht angelegt werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
sudo depmod 5.4.83-v7l+
depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/5.4.83-v7l+: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory

Reboot to run the driver.

If you have already configured your wifi it should start up and connect to your
wireless network.

If you have not configured your wifi you will need to do that to enable the wifi.

uname -r gives me:
5.10.103-v7l+

So maybe this driver-install-instruction is not up to date? Do I still need to install a driver? When plugging in the dongle, I see this

wlan1: not associated

iwconfig gives me:

wlan1 unassociated ESSID:"" Nickname:"WIFI@REALTEK"
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Sensitivity:0/0
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

does this mean that the dongle works already? But it doesn´t connect to the wifi. Can anybody help me with this? Should the dongle be configured as AP or as internet-bridge?

I temporarily solved the problem by downgrading linux kernel to 5.10.73-v7l+ and then replacing
http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188eu-drivers/8188eu-5.4.83-v7l-1379.tar.gz
with
http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188eu-drivers/8188eu-5.10.73-v7-1469.tar.gz

Dongle works. Not sure this is the elegant way though
