Dear Maintainer,

The recent update of the firmware-realtek package added support for the rtl8822be chipset.  Bluetooth now works but Wi-Fi doesn't.

I can confirm this bug on my end too on my Lenovo E580 laptop.

What I find odd is that Ubuntu has no problems recognizing this chipset and having the wifi work, but Debian doesn't even recognize that the WiFi device is there.

To anyone interested, instructions from here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/394032/5612 <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/394032/5612> seem to enable rtl8822be on buster. 

Excerpt:
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git <https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git>git checkout origin/extended -b extendedcd rtlwifi_newmake install modprobe -r rtl8822bemodprobe -v rtl8822be
Side effect is that bluetooth doesn't seem to be working, but for me wifi is more important than bluetooth so I can live with that. 

After installing firmware-realtek I didn't have rtl8822be module installed on my laptop, which I guess might be the culprit. 

Jacek
