Charles,

You can get that driver by doing a 'git clone 
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git' and building it following the 
instructions in file README.md from that repo. If you are using Ubuntu, pay 
particular attention to the last paragraph as the distro has not included the 
firmware for RTW8852BE, even though that firmware has been in the official 
linux-firmware repo since October.
