                I have a problematic dongle such that $ dmesg reported
                rtw_8822bu 1-7:1.0: failed to load firmware.....resolved by loading 
                firmware-rtlwifi and dmesg finished device settle with  
                "rtw_8822bu 1-7:1.0: Firmware version 27.2.0, H2C version 13"
                So please check dmesg to see if you need firmware-rtlwifi.

                It may be possible to remove wireless-regdb but not wireless-KERNEL. Find your 
                country code here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
                Add the following line to your bootlocal.sh (we drop sudo as its root powered)
                ###########
                modprobe -r 88x2bu && modprobe 88x2bu rtw_country_code=AU
                ###########
                Change AU to your country code. If you prefer wireless-regdb read its info please!

                USB ports default is already 0, 2 is usb2 and 1 is usb3...so bootlocal.sh for usb3 only
                ###########
                modprobe -r 88x2bu &&  modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1
                ..........but if you need country code as well  -> bootlocal.sh becomes
                modprobe -r 88x2bu &&  modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1 rtw_country_code=AU
                ############
                FULL REBOOT required if you are using bootlocal.sh settings please.

                Recommended TCE=rfkill  -> $ rfkill list # to check if software or hardware blocked
                If hardware blocked look for a switch/button on the device
                If software blocked, run $ rfkill unblock <device-number > # eg rfkill unblock 0
               
                If you prefer other wifi tools do a tag search=wifi in Apps for hits like wifi-manager etc
                simple instructions 
                $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down # cable can remain connected
                $ tce-load -i wifi rtl88x2bu
                $ sudo wifi.sh # and follow prompts
