Subject: 0bda:a811 RTL8811AU module

RTL8811AU module exist for Linux - propose to add it into kernel as such 
WiFi network adapter is used nowadays.
https://github.com/morrownr/8821au - this is suitable for RTL8811AU and 
RTL8821AU Chipsets
https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au - this is suitable for 
RTL8812AU/21AU and RTL8814AU but actually works also with RTL8811AU as 
the module name is 88XXau and tested with Linux Mint 21.3, which is 
basically Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Adapter

When to search:
find /lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers -type f -iname *8811*
<nothing>
Same applies also to 8812, 8813, 8814.

When search 8821, then some modules exist:

find /lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers -type f -iname *8821*
/lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw88_8821cu.ko.zst
/lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw88_8821ce.ko.zst
/lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw88_8821c.ko.zst
/lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw88_8821cs.ko.zst
/lib/modules/6.7.1-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/rtl8821ae.ko.zst

... then we don't see appropriate module, even no *au module, none of 
them work with RTL8811AU either.
