Ubuntu Linux snuck into high-end Dell laptops

• rtw88

  30 512 8.4 C

  A backport of the Realtek Wifi 5 drivers from the wireless-next repo.

Not a high end device (Dell Vostro 15 3515), but it comes with preinstalled Ubuntu as well. It has some serious problems with wireless (10ec:c821). The default driver frequently loses connection on some wifi networks (it has issue with many networks though surprisingly not all of them). Sometimes reloading the driver helps, sometimes it just hangs my system. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 seems to work a bit better though still has the same problem sometimes. It turns out that rfkill block wlan && sleep 3 && rfkill unblock wlan works better than reloading the driver. At least this way I haven't hanged my system yet. And wifi does not seem to be able to work at the same time as bluetooth.

Otherwise a fine device.

It to me like support landed August 29th, according to https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/pull/174
