   I'm using an RTL8812BU wifi adapter which is behaving suspiciously.    
   When signal strengths and throughput deteriorate the USB subsystem,   
   including the keyboard and pointing device, become unreliable.   
      
   This is on an old RPi2B, so armv7.    
      
   Is there a way to search for and install updates relevant to that   
   specific device? It's already known that a general update will break   
   support for a needed peripheral, an Owon USB oscilloscope. It's    
   necessary to be at least somewhat choosy   
      
   From what I can tell the RTL8812BU isn't very widely supported,   
   FreeBSD doesn't even try. I'm hopeful RasPiOS does somewhat better.   
      
   Thanks for reading,
