**Note:** if you believe your device is **RTL8812BU** or **RTL8822BU** but after loaded the module no NIC shows up, the device ID maybe not in the driver whitelist. In this case please submit a new issue with `lsusb` result, and your device name, brand, website, etc.
## Linux 5.18+ and RTW88 Driver
Starting from Linux 5.18, some distributions have added experimental RTW88 USB support (include RTW88x2BU support).
It is not yet stable but if it works well on your system, then you no longer need this driver.
But if it doesn't work or is unstable, you need to manually blacklist it because it has a higher loading priority than this external drivers.
Check the currently loaded module using `lsmod`. If you see `rtw88_core`, `rtw88_usb`, or any name beginning with `rtw88_` then you are using the RTW88 driver.
If you see `88x2bu` then you are using this RTW88x2BU driver.
To blacklist RTW88 8822bu USB driver, run the following command:
```
echo "blacklist rtw88_8822bu" > /etc/modprobe.d/rtw8822bu.conf
```
And reboot your system.
