Getting Realtek rtl8822bu wifi driver working on Ubuntu 18.04

Using this PR and instructions for dkms here:

sudo apt install -y dkms
git clone https://github.com/chasonr/rtl8822bu.git --branch linux-4.15-fix
sudo cp -r rtl8822bu /usr/src/8822bu
sudo dkms add -m 8822bu -v 1.1
sudo dkms build -m 8822bu -v 1.1
sudo dkms install -m 8822bu -v 1.1
sudo modprobe 8822bu

After this, the wifi appeared under the network settings.

Update: this no longer works after a rebootl the network connections are available but it fails to connect to any SSID. But it's a step in the right direction at least.
