    Severity: wishlist

    Dear Maintainers,

    New laptops / mini PC now include Realtek 8851BE WiFi chip that is
    already supported by the rtw89 driver since kernel 6.5. Please enable
    this module in future builds.

    The firmware is already provided by latest versions of
    firmware-realtek (bookworm-backports /  trixie).

    Thanks.

    David
