Important: The in-kernel driver and out-of-kernel drivers are not feature equal. Post in Issues if you have questions about what features are supported in which driver.

Important: Currently incompatible with OpenWRT. The RTL8812bu / RTL8822bu in-kernal drivers require Linux Kernel 6.2+, the current stable release of OpenWRT 23.05 uses Linux Kernel 5.15. Right now and probably until the 2025 version of OpenWRT, the only dual or tri-band, WiFi 5, 6 or 7 chipsets that are supported are the mt7921au, mt7612u and mt7610u (also the mt7925 but no adapters are on the market yet).
