   I can't find any mail with the string "RTL8188" in them :-? (1)   
      
   IF that thing worked before and stopped working, the thing to do is   
   directly report in bugzilla.   
      
      
      
      
   (1): I find entries in the build logs. For example:   
      
   Subject: [opensuse-factory] Leap 15.2 Build 563.1 released!   
      
   - staging: rtl8188eu: Add device code for TP-Link TL-WN727N v5.21   
      (git-fixes).   
      
   Subject: New Tumbleweed snapshot 20210406 released!   
      
   - staging: rtl8188eu: prevent ->ssid overflow in rtw_wx_set_scan()   
      (bsc#1012628).   
      
   Subject: openSUSE-SU-2021:1977-1: important: Security update for the   
   Linux Kernel   
      
       - staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential memory corruption in   
         rtw_check_beacon_data() (git-fixes).   
      
      
   So there is indeed activity around that chip.   
      
      
   --   
   Cheers, Carlos.
