Just as a side note, I did test with the out-of-tree driver from https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702.git which seems to work OK. Still some issues with SSID's being renamed, but I suspect it's because I'm running 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz on the same SSID.

See attached 88x2bu-journal.txt

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '38'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 38 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21.

field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.
