Aug 15 at 16:41 comment added August Karlstrom @MarcusMüller It seem like only the bluetooth driver 8852au is available in the repositories. After installing the package firmware-realtek the command find /lib/firmware/ -iname '*8852au*' finds two files in /lib/firmware/rtl_bt but not in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi. I also tried uninstalling the github driver and restarting the computer but then no WiFi interface showed up when running ip link.
Aug 15 at 15:05 comment added Marcus Müller you might need to install the firmware package, but other than that, that would seem possible at least.

Aug 15 at 12:27 comment added August Karlstrom @MarcusMüller The WiFi interface didn't show up in the output from ip link. Debian 13 currently uses kernel version 6.12. Do you mean I should just be able to use the adapter directly after connecting it to the computer with no additional installation or configuration?
Aug 14 at 12:05 comment added Marcus Müller by the way, are you sure you need the external driver? A quick search through the linux kernel shows me that there's drivers for 8852au included in modern Linux. And looking at the software quality of that git repo, ahem, maybe if you can avoid it?
