This patch has been applied upstream to Linux 5.19-rc3 and backported to Linux
5.18.6. While the latter is not yet available in Debian, we have Linux 5.19-rc4
in experimental. Could you please check if it fixes this issue?

Package: src:linux
Version: 5.18.5-1
Severity: important

Dear linux maintainers,

Not sure if this should be filed against firmware-realtek, and sorry if
that is the case. I have a WiFi USB dongle that doesn't work on linux
5.18, but it does work on 5.15.

You can see this error in the logs below during boot, or when I replug
the dongle:

 r8188eu 1-1.2:1.0: _rtw_init_xmit_priv failed

Maybe this is relevant:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/5/21/527

Thanks for your work,
