I tested rtw88 on a Lenovo E495 with FreeBSD 14.2p3:

  rtw880@pci0:3:0:0:      class=0x028000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=
0xb822 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0xb023
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter'
    class      = network
    bar   [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base rx2000, size 256, enabled
    bar   [18] = type Memory, range 64, base rxd0700000, size 65536, enabled
  /boot/kernel/

and:

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtw880
ifconfig wlan0 ssid welcome country DE
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c wpa-psk.welcome

but it fails to associate:
