my RTL8822BE M.2 card is not working with linux 5.2rc3
the staging r8822be driver in linux 5.1 was working for this card

Hi,
Please use the attached patch. And RFE type 3 has not been well tested,
I am not sure if the quality is expected. But it should work fine I guess.
If there is any further problems, just tell me, thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the patch. i applied it on top of 5.2rc4 and everything is
playing nice so far.
i use the card as a hotspot with hostapd
the download speed changed from ~10Mbit/s (with the 5.1 staging driver)
to ~100Mbit/s
very nice work!

Hi,
the above patch doesnt apply anymore on newer kernel sources.
can we except to see rfe type 3 support in the mainline kernel?
what can i do to help testing, if testing is still needed?
thanx

That's fine, I'll fix the conflicts and send them to mainline.
Also I will try to fix the array usage of the tables, use struct instead.
That was requested by Brian before.
