Request for Realtek rtw89_8852be driver

2023-03-26 Thread Andy Smith
Hi, I've got a laptop running testing with a Realtek 8852be card in it. This driver seems to be present in upstream kernel from 6.1: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.1/source/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/rtw8852be.c but doesn't seem to be in any Debian kernel package at present.
