According to https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702 it's supported by
a module in the kernel as of 6.2, but it is not listed by that name.
$ uname -r
6.3.3-desktop-1.mga9
$ zgrep RTL88 /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_RTL8821AE=m
CONFIG_RTL8812AU=m

Assigning to kernel team.

Hi Dave, there does not seem to be an alias for that device ID 0138, which is this:
Vendor ID: ‎0x2357
Device ID: ‎0x0138

It was reported on IRC that there are now aliases for this device, except that the network device still doesn't come up:

The problem seemed solved for Mageia 8, but it has come again to bug Mageia 9 (64 bits).
