David,

Use the command 'git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git -b rtw88' 
to get a copy of the new driver for RTL8822BE and RTL8822CE in a stand-alone 
form. All that is needed is 'cd rtlwifi_new && make && sudo make install'. This 
version will build on kernels v4.4 and newer. As I have time, I will be 
backporting to kernels at least as old as 4.0.

I would appreciate your comments and bug reports.

Larry
