I got one of those working for a while, but it is a disaster to keep working.
Every few kernel versions it stops working and you have to find fixed code and download and compile it to get it working again. Then a few kernels later it happens again. When it worked it worked better that the original card in the laptop, but it was time consuming to fixed it every few kernel updates. Your best bet is to simply replace the wifi card on the laptop with one of the newer ones (that is what I did). Depending on your laptop that should be possible. I replaced mine with an intel ax200 card and it has just worked since I replaced it. You may have to read the reviews on the cards to determine if others have used the card in a laptop like yours. There are gray market cards on amazon for around $22. My laptop is a 2016 model. You will have to do some research to figure out if a ax200 or newer will plug into your laptop.
