Hm. What I found was the driver has been integrated in kernel 6.2 and if you need to build it for an older kernel, then they're supported too. Versions 5.12-6.2 have community support and 4.19-5.11 are supported by Realtek. I don't know what that means exactly though. Source: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702 I can try to build this with Debian's stable 5.10 kernel at some point but I don't have the hardware.
