wireless-info VS rtw89

this script focuses on wifi (wireless), but also collects some ethernet info. if i were posting the output i would edit out a few things like my username and ip address, but it may be helpful in trying to figure out what is going on with your system. if you do edit anything, you could signal so with something like just so people helping know the info wasn't blank: https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info

this script says it is for ubuntu, but i believe it should run on debian. it collects some additional info: https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info

bash wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \ chmod +x wireless-info && \ ./wireless-info

I've seen this intermittent a lot, all distros! My way would be to run https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info when it's working, to get a 'baseline' .txt report, then run it when it's not working, and compare the 'broken' info. I'm sure the world would be happy to hear exactly&clearly what's going wrong in your case. Methodical step-by-step diagnosis will find it! Let us know...

just FYI, also the famous https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info (cat the .txt file) | nc termbin.com 9999

Look for relevant commands in https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info

I found this GitHub link that contains instructions on how to compile the driver for most distributions. However, they require usage of make install so I don't think that would work on NixOs.

I have the older version with the 6900HS but it’s more or less the same. I’ve run pop_os as well as fedora on it. Everything works great but you’ll have to compile the wifi driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.

I have seen other people with newer Lenovo systems reporting success with this: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/blob/main/README.md

This is a Realtek rtl8852be chipset and uses the rtw89 driver which does not come prepackaged in the Linux kernel... See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

Got mine working on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 with 7 commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install make gcc build-essential git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git cd rtw89 make sudo make install sudo reboot 0

Yes I guess, its already been reported in earlier versions. I tried to install from code, https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 But it didn't work either.

Realtek drivers are such a PITA. Check out this guys Github: Link he has instructions on how to get the most common realtek chipsets working. Please note, kernel updates will break the drivers for all realtek workarounds and you will have to redo this after each update.

but to my understanding, it cannot be installed due to kernel related issues. so i tried installing this instead with no luck: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git Install 'fix': git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install load module: sudo modprobe rtw89pci

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install
