Realtek rtl8822be driver linux

RTL8822x Firmware for GNU/Linux

The files in this repository are taken from Linux Mint 19.3 and will allow a Realtek RTL8822 b or c card to work on other distributions.

If you have trust issues, you can always boot with Mint 19.3 and take the files from there to use.

Log in with your favorite distribution, preferably with a new Kernel, as this has only been tested with 5.4+ Unload non-working modules from the Kernel, with:

You can run lsmod to see if they are named somehow differently in your OS, in case you do not run Debian.

Copy the files from this repo to your system, change the kernel path as needed! Load the modules with modprobe rtw88 and the WiFi should work.

It is unclear to me whether the /usr files are needed or if everything will work with just the files under /lib . Feel free to open an issue about this.

Did you rename the paths to work with with your current Kernel?

Usage on Debian Installer

Either on the graphical, text or live installer, open a terminal and do the above procedure before the installer checks for WiFi cards. The resulting installation will work out of the box and you do not need to copy the files again.

Huawei Matebook D14 (2020) with AMD 3500U. (Probaly same as D15)

The following issues are not related to the network card, but to the AMD CPU/GPU. Since these two are commonly found together, I document the fixes here.

If you have issues with the installer not starting use a newer Kernel. The ISO files listed above are fine as are the STABLE ones from Debian.

If you have glitches with your screen (artifacts) disable compositing.

Realtek rtl8822be driver linux

This repository has been discontinued.

I held a copy of the linux-5.1 r8822be driver from the drivers/staging/ tree here for a while, as the new rtw88 driver, introduced with linux-5.2, had multiple issues. It crashed a lot, especially in AP mode, and seemingly didn’t support creating 5GHz access points.

Now, it having been a year and a half since this driver was discontinued, arriving at kernel version 5.9, all of the issues I initially had with the driver have been resolved (probably quite a few versions ago), I still know nothing about wireless drivers and I see no reason to keep using it. Please use the upstream rtw88 driver and report any issues with it to the upstream kernel.

I’m not sure if the current kernel LTS (5.4) that distributions such as Ubuntu are using works as fine with this device as the latest kernel version, but thankfully the next LTS (5.10) is right around the corner, hopefully being integrated by the next Ubuntu release.

If you’re somehow still having issues with the rtw88 driver included in your distribution, try one of the following first:

Test the latest kernel, if available for your distribution (or build it manually).
Install a newer version of the rtw88 driver manually from git.
If you’re having issues creating a 5GHz access point, maybe this helps.

If neither of these options works for you, please report your issue to either the kernel bugzilla or your distribution’s bug tracker.

If you’re absolutely sure you know what you’re doing, and you still need the driver that used to be hosted in this repository, check the master branch.

It works now. Here are the steps I took to get everything working in my laptop:

1. use ethernet or usb dongle to connect.
2. install ukuu kernel update utility.
3. update kernel to 4.15.2
4. Reboot
5. Download and build rtlwifi_next

This fixed not just the wifi, but other components like touch pad as well.

With Linux Mint 19, everything is working, except the Wifi, given, the open source driver is not stable and freezes and restarts, I bought this:
https://ark.intel.com/products/99445/In . ss-AC-9260

It is kind of cheap and at least, it is capable 1.73GB and MU-MIMO and they say, no freezes will be. Until, I receive, I am stuck on wired for now, but at least, with M.2 half height PCIX SSD, 34 GB RAM 2400 Mhz, it is awesome.

I just do not know on Linux with RYZEN 1700 go to to boost. I can go up to 3.2 Ghz, but not 3.7. Of course, on Windows it works everything perfect.

Kind of new Laptop . I am sure, we will reach 3.7 Ghz on Linux Mint 19 Laptop as well. Hopefully!

I have tried your solution on my new Ideapad 530S Mint 19. I have the RT8822BE wireless card and it says it is unavailable

I got to this point in your code —

sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new and got this error —
Error! Could not find module source directory.
Directory: /usr/src/.-rtlwifi_new does not exist.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

/Downloads/rtl8822befw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ (Step 6).
Then build (Step 5).
Maybe that will help.

Проблема с wi-fi адаптером realtek 8822BE на Kali

Chekist_

Member

Доброго утра, господа.

Проблема такова, что Кали Линукс не видит никоим образом реалтековский адаптер (Realtek 8822BE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC). По прямому подключению и через usb раздачу инета по телефону — соответственно инет есть.
В Линуксе я совсем новичок, поэтому, прошу простить за глупый вопрос. Что мне необходимо будет скинуть сюда, чтобы вы, уважаемые, поняли мою проблему ?

На гитхабе один пользователь написал, цитирую «the driver in rtlwifi-new now works. Larry has added instructions in the notes for the driver set. Thanks Larry! I got these working on the HP envy ryzen laptop with the realtek rtl8822be wireless/bluetooth chipset running Kali Linux», то есть,какой то Ларри смог все исправить и предоставил инстркукцию, только я не в курсе, откуда ее взять. Хелп плис ))

П.С. за то, что я новичок и пытаюсь обучиться с помощью Кали, сильно не пинать, первый дистриб, которым начал пользоваться, понравился) + можно запускаться с флехи, поэтому удобен.

П.П.С. этот же адаптер не видят и другие дистрибы линукса ( Минт, Арч, Таллис)

Доброго утра, господа.

П.П.С. этот же адаптер не видят и другие дистрибы линукса ( Минт, Арч, Таллис)

Вот репозиторий с нужными драйверами

### Section for RTL8822BE and RTL8822CE

The drivers for these devices are found in the rtw88 branch. To get the codes, you need to do the following:

git clone lwfinger/rtlwifi_new -b rtw88
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install

When your kernel changes, then you need to do the following:
cd

/rtlwifi_new
git pull
make
sudo make install

Remember, this MUST be done whenever you get a new kernel — no exceptions.

These drivers will not build for kernels older than 4.14. If you are using a kernel newer than 5.2,
I suggest that you use the driver built into the kernel!

git clone lwfinger/rtlwifi_new -b rtw88
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install

После того, как ядро заменится, нужно выполнить следующие команды
cd

/rtlwifi_new
git pull
make
sudo make install

Numerous additional products that are based on the supported chipsets

Note: Please read «supported-device-IDs» for information about how to confirm the correct driver for your adapter.

The installation instructions are for the novice user. Experienced users are welcome to alter the installation to meet their needs.

Temporary internet access is required for installation. There are numerous ways to enable temporary internet access depending on your hardware and situation. One method is to use tethering from a phone. Another method to enable temporary internet access is to keep a wifi adapter that uses an in-kernel driver in your toolkit.

You will need to use the terminal interface. The quick way to open a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T (hold down on the Ctrl and Alt keys then press the T key)

DKMS is used for the installation. DKMS is a system utility which will automatically recompile and install this driver when a new kernel is installed. DKMS is provided by and maintained by Dell.

It is recommended that you do not delete the driver directory after installation as the directory contains information and scripts that you may need in the future.

There is no need to disable Secure Mode to install this driver. If Secure Mode is properly setup on your system, this installation will support it.

Step 1: Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)

Step 2: Update system package information (select the option for the OS you are using)

Note: If you do not regularly maintain your system by installing updated packages, it is a good idea to not only update system package information but also to install the updated packages followed by a system reboot. The installation can then be continued with step 3.

Step 3: Install the required packages (select the option for the OS you are using)

Step 4: Create a directory to hold the downloaded driver

Step 5: Move to the newly created directory

Step 6: Download the driver

Step 7: Move to the newly created driver directory

Step 8: Warning: this step only applies if you are installing to Raspberry Pi hardware. You can skip this step if installing to x86 or amd64 based systems.

Run a preparation script

Step 9: Run the installation script (For automated builds, use NoPrompt as an option)

A file called 88x2bu.conf will be installed in /etc/modprobe.d by default.

This file will be read and applied to the driver on each system boot.

To edit the driver options file, run the edit-options.sh script.

Documentation for Driver Options is included in the file 88x2bu.conf .

Removal of the Driver

Note: This script should be used in the following situations:

the driver is no longer needed
a fresh start with default settings is needed
a new version of the driver needs to be installed
a major operating system upgrade is going to be applied

Note: This script removes everything that has been installed, with the exception of the packages installed in Step 3 and the driver directory. The driver directory can and probably should be deleted in most cases after running the script.

Step 1: Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)

Step 2: Move to the driver directory

Step 3: Run the removal script

Recommended WiFi Router/ Access Point Settings

Note: These are general recommendations, some of which may not apply to your specific situation.

Security: Set WPA2-AES. Do not set WPA2 mixed mode or WPA or TKIP.

Channel width for 2.4 GHz: Set 20 MHz fixed width. Do not use 40 MHz or 20/40 automatic.

Channels for 2.4 GHz: Set channel 1 or 6 or 11 depending on the congestion at your location. Do not set automatic channel selection. As time passes, if you notice poor performance, recheck congestion and set channel appropriately. The environment around you can and does change over time.

Mode for 2.4 GHz: For best performance, set «N only» if you no longer use B or G capable devices.

Network names: Do not set the 2.4 GHz Network and the 5 GHz Network to the same name. Note: Unfortunately many routers come with both networks set to the same name. You need to be able to control which network that is in use.

Channels for 5 GHz: Not all devices are capable of using DFS channels. It may be necessary to set a fixed channel in the range of 36 to 48 or 149 to 161 in order for all of your devices to work on 5 GHzg. (for US, other countries may vary)

Best location for the wifi router/ access point: Near center of apartment or house, at least a couple of feet away from walls, in an elevated location. You may have to test to see what the best location is in your environment.

Check congestion: There are apps available for smart phones that allow you to check the congestion levels on wifi channels. The apps generally go by the name of WiFi Analyzer or something similar.

After making and saving changes, reboot the router.

Set regulatory domain to correct setting in OS

Check the current setting

If you get 00, that is the default and may not provide optimal performance.

Set it temporarily

Note: Substitute your country code if you are not in the United States.

Set it permanently

Recommendations regarding USB

Moving your USB WiFi adapter to a different USB port has been known to fix a variety of problems. Problems include WiFi going on and off as well as connections coming and going.

If connecting your USB WiFi adapter to a desktop computer, use the USB ports on the rear of the computer. Why? The ports on the rear are directly connected to the motherboard which will reduce problems with interference and disconnection that can happen with front ports that use cables.

If your USB WiFi adapter is USB 3 capable then plug it into a USB 3 port.

Avoid USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports if possible as almost all currently available adapters have been tested with USB 3.1 Gen 1 (aka USB 3) and not with USB 3.1 Gen 2.

If you use an extension cable and your adapter is USB 3 capable, the cable needs to be USB 3 capable.

Some USB WiFi adapters require considerable electrical current and push the capabilities of the power available via USB port. One example is devices that use the Realtek 8814au chipset. Using a powered multiport USB extension can be a good idea in cases like this.

Add the following line to /boot/config.txt

How to forget a saved WiFi network on a Raspberry Pi

Delete the relevant WiFi network block (including the ‘network=’ and opening/closing braces.

Press ctrl-x followed by ‘y’ and enter to save the file.

Question: What interface combinations does this driver support?

Answer: None. Realtek out-of-kernel drivers, including this driver, do not support interface combinations. If you need support for interface combinations, I suggest adapters based on the Mediatek chipsets.

Question: What extended features does this driver support?

Answer: None. For extended features, you need an adapter that uses Mediatek or Atheros drivers.

Question: I bought two rtl8812au based adapters and am planning to run one of them as an AP and another as a WiFi client. How do I set that up?

Answer: You can’t. Realtek drivers do not support more than one adapter with the same chipset in the same computer. However, testing has shown that the Mediatek drivers do support more than one adapter with the same chipset in the same computer.

Question: Why do you recommend Mediatek based adapters when you maintain this repo for a Realtek driver?

Answer: Many new Linux users already have adapters based on Realtek chipsets. This repo is for Linux users to support their existing adapters but my STRONG recommendation is for Linux users to seek out WiFi solutions based on Mediatek, Intel or Atheros chipsets and drivers. If users are looking at a USB solution, Mediatek and Atheros based adapters are the best solution. Realtek based USB adapters are not a good solution because Realtek does not follow Linux Wireless standards for USB WiFi adapters. Realtek drivers are problematic in many ways. You have been WARNED.
