Hello there,
I have a problem with my mobile wireless chip RLT8822BE by Realtek. I assume it is a driver problem. The command lspci revealed the following information:
Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device b822
Is there a kernel module I have to enable? Will it be supported in the upcoming Kernel 4.14 and if not how can I contribute?
Thanks in advance
Have a look at https://github.com/rtlwifi-linux/rtlwifi-next
Compile, install and load the module with the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/rtlwifi-linux/rtlwifi-next
cd rtlwifi-next
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8822be
Does it work?
Thanks a lot!
The main repo at https://github.com/rtlwifi-linux/rtlw... did not compile. I used https://github.com/synthtc/rtlwifi-next which was one commit ahead and compiled.
Now Fedora recognizes the wireless device. I can also list the networks around me. Unfortunately connecting to any wireless network fails.
Edit:
Doing lsmod shows

I just saw the device will be integrated in 4.14. Source: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...
