 My overall recommendation for WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 is to seek out adapters and modules based on Mediatek chips. See the Plug and Play  List.
 
-Back to topic: During 2024, a major effort was undertaken to eliminate the need to for these Realtek WiFi 5 out-of-kernel drivers. These Realtek drivers are not good for general public use so an effort was started to write new and enhance existing WiFi 5 drivers that are standards compliant and will be maintained in the Linux mainline kernel. This effort was started by Larry Finger, Bitterblue Smith and Nick Morrow. Larry Finger passed away in May of 2024 but we pressed on. Many enhancements had to be made to the existing rtw88 USB drivers and along the way, new driver for the rtl8812au, rtl8821/11au and rtl8814au chips were written. The rtl8812au and rtl8821/11au driver were merged into kernel 6.13 and it is planned for the rtl8814au driver to be merged into kernel 6.15.
