[7] Adapters with the rtl8952/32cu chips that are multi-state have been shown to be particularly problematic. Recommend that you only consider adapters with these chips if the adapter is single-state (no windows driver onboard).

[7] Realtek WiFi 6 chip based adapters are mostly multi-state adapters meaning that they have a Windows driver onboard. This can cause problems for Linux users so I recommend you search for adapters that are single-state (no Windows driver onboard). However, it can be a challenge to find single-state adapters that use the Realtek WiFi 6 chips at this time so I recommend that you consult The Plug and Play List for best results. Testing has shown that adapter with the rtl8952/32cu chips are particularly problematic.
