I got them from Aliexpress. Both listings are gone now, but I still
see others:

Mine was only 6 USD in March 2023. I don't know why this obsolete
product got so expensive.

For RTL8192DU only modules are available:

Someone gave me this link (I didn't buy):
https://www.amazon.com/Netis-Wireless-Raspberry-Windows-RTL8188CUS/dp/B008O2AL0K

Note that the Netis WF2120 can have newer chips inside which will
not use this driver.
