The weird thing is that it seems to be working? Either I misdiagnosed the problem, or maybe my old one was just broken.

      Realtek only started to develop drivers in the upstream Linux kernel relatively recently, 5 years or so, and only for what was then the newest chipset. Something 88 and two letters but not 88 and other letters (I think CE).

      Does Intel WIFI still exist? If so, that is what is probably the best supported chipset.
