Subject: dual-band WiFi adapter for Linux

Amazon UK are selling a dual-band WiFi adapter for about 11 GBP (approx 
15 USD). It contains a RealTek chip, and it comes with a CD with source 
for a linux kernel driver which says it is rtl8821ae .

I have a patch to make this work with a 4.19 kernel (Fedora Rawhide a 
few days ago).

I believe the driver from Amazon is GPL2, and I am content for my patch 
to be taken as GPL2 as well.

If anyone wants to integrate this into the Linux kernel, they should 
contact me directly (tjcw at cantab.net) and I will supply the material 
which I have.
