Larry, Please disregard my last message.  The firmware is now installed and the rtw88 module is working with my wireless router.  The next hurdle appears to be setting the speed to 802.11ac as it is currently connecting as an 802.11n client. Sincerely, David R. Bergstein On 3/1/19 9:55 PM, Davi

Larry, Following up to your last reply, I blacklisted the r8822be module, rebooted and was unable to bring up the wireless interface via rtw88.  Below are some errors recorded in my system log:   [  267.509818] rtw_pci :3d:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin failed with error
