Heyo I got myself a new Laptop and everything works like a charm - besides Network card. I also have the RTL8852BE and was stupid enough not to look that one up when I selected it (referring to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1hazfx2/cannot_get_rtl8852be_wifi_card_to_work_with/ ).

So anyway the problem is I can connect to wifi but it is a strange behavior. If I ping a server I get long “pong” every second or third “ping”. In a 5G wifi this is hardly a problem, but in normal 2.4 I hardly can use the internet at all.

Now to my question… do you think waiting for an updated version is a good idea or shall I also break my new case (T-T *sad noises*) and change to an intel card? If so do you know a good one that I can get?

Thank you so much for everyone that takes the time to answer <3
