Besides the RTL8832AU (USB) being USB, what is the difference from the
RTL8852AE (PCI)?
How is the RTL8852AU (USB) different than the 8832AU?
Do the 8852BE and 8852BU fix bugs in the 8852Ax?

James,
The "RTL" is the Realtek part. The 4 numbers denote the chip family, and the
first letter indicates the member of the family. The last letter indicates the
bus - E for PCIe, U for USB, and S for SDIO.
Thus the RTL8852AE and the RTL8852AU have the same chip model - only the bus is
different; however, the programming for setup might be different. Only the chip
designer knows. Compare the differences in the drivers for RTL8192CE and RTL8192CU.
I have no idea what an RTL8832AU is. Similarly, I have no knowledge of the
RTL8852Bx.
Larry

The difference between 8852AE and 8852AU is interface -- PCI and USB.
The 8852Bx is another (next) series of 802.11AX chip whose hardware capabilities
are different from 8852Ax.
The difference of RTL8852AU and 8832AU is that 8832AU doesn't have Bluetooth.
