USB wireless rtl8822b Driver strange

[Robert McBroom]

Compiled driver from GitHub for USB wireless from FayTun.  The device is 
recognized and connects.  The console gets a stream as follows:

This continues forever until the device is disabled, ifconfig doesn't 
show any errors.

What is this behavior?

Is it working otherwise?  It appears that the driver is logging every 
time it puts the device in or out of power save mode.  I would suggest 
filing a bug on the driver, but check if there is already an issue open 
for it.
