It is too late to get into bookworm now and bookworm +1 will have Linux >= 6.2.
When Linux 6.2 arrives in Debian please ask for CONFIG_RTW88_8821CU to be
enabled.
We should not introduce this as a separate package.
For the firmware: It might be available in kernel.org's linux-firmware project.
Else please ask them about the license situation when Realtek does not respond.
