Support for RTL8812BU USB Wi-Fi adapters in HAOS

[De-Lumi]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to use an external USB Wi-Fi adapter with my Raspberry Pi 4 running Home Assistant OS (current version 17.1).

I noticed that support for the RTL8812AU chipset was enabled in previous HAOS updates (PR #2279).

My question is: Does the current HAOS kernel also include drivers for the RTL8812BU variant (rtl88x2bu)?

Specifically, I am looking at an AC1200 adapter based on the RTL8812BU chipset. Will this work plug-and-play, or is the support still limited to the AU version?

System info:

• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B
• OS Version: HAOS 17.1
• Goal: 5GHz Wi-Fi via USB dongle

Thanks in advance for the help!
