   Probably kernel modules. Right now lsusb identifies the wifi device as   
   Bus 001 Device 040: ID 2357:012d TP-Link Archer T3U [Realtek RTL8812BU]   
      
   Running dmesg through grep wlan0 finds   
   [1549933.629235] rtw_8822bu 1-1.5.2:1.0 wlan0: disabling HT/VHT/HE as WMM/QoS   
   is not supported by the AP   
      
   The wifi dongle works but not well. When the wireless connection gets   
   dodgy the entire USB system, including keyboard and trackpad, slow to   
   the point that the machine can't be controlled and must be power-cycled.   
      
   If I try    
   bob@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt search rtw_8822bu   
   Sorting... Done   
   Full Text Search... Done   
      
   nothing is found, not even the existing driver.   
      
   Am I looking with the wrong tool?   
      
   Thanks for writing,
