Edimax USB nic drivers (rtl8822b)

I have had this nic for about a month now. Is there any advancement on a driver for Arch in the AUR?

Here is the device per th parent website:
https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandi … w-7822ulc/

Here are the specs from the dmesg
[63712.500971] usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd
[63712.591920] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=b822, bcdDevice= 2.10
[63712.591940] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[63712.591952] usb 1-1.3: Product: AC1200 MU-MIMO USB2.0 Adapter
[63712.591961] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: Realtek
[63712.591971] usb 1-1.3: SerialNumber: 123456

and from lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 7392:b822 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd

This appears to use an rtl8822b driver? Anyone have any luck getting this device to work?

UPDATED: rtl8822bu-dkms-git in AUR - I will take a look at this to see if it does the trick.
UPDATED: Negative. The above failed on this device.

Cheers
Chris
