Does the Realtek Semiconductor RTL8922DE-VV 802.11be PCIe Wireless Network Adapter work on Linux?

Recognised by the in-kernel driver rtw89_8922de (since Linux 7.1).

Firmware requirements have not been checked; no declaration is not evidence that none is needed.

This is an ID-table match, not a test of speed or range.

Technical details

Device category	Wi-Fi adapter
Bus	PCIe
Device IDs	`10ec:895d`
Kernel driver	rtw89_8922de
In kernel since	Linux 7.1+

Firmware requirement

Separate firmware requirements have not been verified; no declaration is not evidence that none is needed. This is a driver-family list, not a per-device requirement. Optional features and other chips may use different files. Presence is checked against linux-firmware WHENCE File and Link records, including patterns.

Firmware	Manifest check

Firmware packaging varies by distribution; consult Debian firmware guidance or Arch network setup guidance. A missing manifest entry does not mean the device is unsupported.
