rtlwifi-linux / rtw88_8723de Goto Github PK

I not sure, that my kernel load firmware (rtw8723d_fw.bin), and I want to try load them manually. How I can do it?
I can find rtw8723d_fw.bin and rtw8723d_config in /lib/firmware/

Hi,

Debian 10.6 Linux 4.19.0-12-amd64 x86_64

Thank you very much for this driver.

When I try to do make according to the README file I get this error:

Could you please help me with this problem?
I am relative new to Linux.

Thank you

When i upgraded to the latest kernel on archlinux (5.8) and connect with sshfs (ssh filesystem) to any device inside my wifi's lan, the remote device work for a few minutes (1 o 2) or before a file's refresh or a heavy operation (copy a file or create directory); after that, the device is not detected anymore and all pings to this devices, fails, so i need to reconnect to the wifi's lan again, for make it to work, losing all progress done in sshfs.

This problem is given only with this driver (rtw88_8723de) introduced on Kernel 5.8, but when i used the driver rtl8723de from this source: https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de, all works fine and sshfs works perfect on previous kernel releases (5.6 and 5.7). But with the newest version, is impossible to use the driver rtl8723de and replace this driver (rtw88_8723de), so i stuck on wifi's lan problem described before, when use newest version of kernel. For "fix" the problem, i rollback the whole distribution to the date: 2020-07-29, and use the driver (rtl8723de), so with this setup all works ok. But i can't upgrade anything, because of this new driver.

I am trying to install this package and getting this error, what I can do here?

I'd like to backport 8723de support to Ubuntu's unstable kernel branch [1].
So please rebase this repo on top of mainline or wireless-drivers-next.

Rebased the patches on top of Dave Miller's net-next tree, the issue is still reproducible.

This driver is not working on Kali Linux with kernel 5.10.0-kali7-amd64.
I've tried it on kali linux which I installed using the net installer method, all steps worked fine but after reboot wifi doesn't worked...

So downstream distros can pull the firmware from linux-firmware.
Or provides proper license file. The upstream route is more preferred though.

There are many commits in v5.4-base are merged into upstream v5.4, however some of them are different, some even cause conflicts.

So let's rebase the v5.4-base on top of v5.4.y stable branch [1].

IIRC, 8821ce support is planned to upstream in 2020.
Is it possible to put the code drop in this repo?
