Hello! I wondered if there’s any chance that RTL8822BU Linux driver could be upgraded to the latest kernels. It worked fine up to 5.14 kernel, but now it’s unsupported, so for the last months I’m unable to use my usb 5G wifi and my navigation speed is stuck at 100M thanks to my internal wifi card, so I miss those 500M my usb wifi gives me. I would really appreciate if I could use it back in my Manjaro Linux…
