Welcome to the rtl8822bu wiki!

These are some general notes about getting this to work on various Linux flavours.

Debian 10

NetworkManager will randomize the adapter MAC address. This is a security feature in case you are using a laptop with public wi-fi spots but is problematic when using a home wifi setup.

To fix this do the follow:

Create a file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/00-do-not-randomize-mac.conf

with contents:

[device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes

Then restart NetworkManager with:

systemctl restart NetworkManager
