The module loads but I can not bring up the interface or do anything with it. I think the problem is that the firmware load fails, see below. I can not find any source for the listed firmware file or any make rules to build it. Possibly connected, the machine also has an R8822B as the Bluetooth device (possibly a secondary port on the same device?) which shows the same error. The problem is not higher up in the networking stack as eth0 works fine. Any help will be appreciated.
