I have this device plugged right now into box, running Slakware 15.0 i586 with custom kernel:
Linux slax 6.12.26-x64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun May 4 23:16:06 MSK 2025 x86_64 AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Unfortunately, when I booted into my self-compiled back in May NetBSD kernel device failed to scan wifi (via wpa_cli) and when I updated kernel to snapshot: wget https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/20250913234600Z/amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/20250913234600Z/amd64/binary/sets/modules.tar.xz It just outright disappeared among with amdgpu .... Inability to scan might be related to this (solved by now) Linux bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216746 But in my experience networks and their SSIDs were visible on bugged Linux kernel module, just authentication failed. lspci -v from Linux: ==== Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
