I used this to fix bluetooth problems in ubuntu19. Thanks. And now Debian buster is already able to support 8821Cu in firmware. Just execute:

apt install firmware-realtek

Just to say thanks, and to notice people.

Works for me with Debian Buster & Liquorix 5.2 kernel!

Thanks! Klaus

Doesn't work on Raspbian Buster, as the module appears to be missing (or the kernel is too old)

sabirovrinat85 commented 5 years ago

fresh installed Debian Buster 10.1 , same thing, doesn't work on x86 pc, linux kernel 4.19, cheap dongle from Comfast is recognized as 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp., "make" fails with status 2, in make.log there's something about rtw_debug.c:45:62 error macro DATE might prevent reproducible builds

sabirovrinat85 commented 5 years ago

adding additional string

EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-error=date-time

into Makefile made compilation process done, so problem is solved (don't forget installing wpasupplicant and wireless-tools if using Debian's netinstall version)
