I reported this to Realtek and they pinpointed it to a bug in wpasupplicant. I tested the patch and it works fine for 8812au, 88x2bu and 8821cu. I then reported it to launchpad in case it makes it for Ubuntu 20.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/1867908 If others

Package: network-manager Version: 1.6.2-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, I think that Network-Manager default settings should be changed to default to non-random MAC addresses on WiFi. Even though there are security reasons for enabling this by default, this results in less "out of the box"
