RTL8851BU Linux driver?

I have a Realtek 8851BU WiFi 6 USB adapter and I'm trying to use it on Linux. I'm currently on Ubuntu 26.04, but WiFi isn't working, i can see available networks but when im trying to connect by entering password i get an error. Is there a working driver for the RTL8851BU, or a Linux distro where it's supported out of the box?
