It contains a RealTek chip, and it comes with a CD with source for a linux kernel driver which says it is rtl8821ae . I have a patch to make this work with a 4.19 kernel (Fedora Rawhide a few days ago). I believe the driver from Amazon is GPL2, and I am content for my patch to be taken as GPL2 as well. If anyone wants to integrate this into the Linux kernel, they should contact me directly (tjcw at cantab.net) and I will supply the material which I have. -- Chris Ward
