6.6.2-201 kernel driver not working correctly
chitudorin opened this issue · 6 comments
Perhaps this is not the place to open this issue, but maybe I can get some advice. As per #285 you said there is no reason to use this driver, but the drivers in the 6.6.2-201 kernel are semi-not working for me.
I am using Fedora 39 with this kernel and after a restart everything was looking good, the Wi-Fi worked out of the box. After checking dmesg, this is the output:
$ dmesg | grep rtw

Though, after a while, the Wi-Fi suddenly stopped working and this was dmesg's output:
$ dmesg | grep rtw

This is lsmod's output:
$ lsmod | grep rtw

and this is lspci's:
$ lspci | grep Realtek

Forgot to mention that I'm using an HP laptop.
After reading through #240 I've disabled "Adaptive Battery Saving" in the BIOS. Will come back if it happens again.
Still the same problem, now it won't even work after a reboot, so it may not be related to that battery saving setting.
The 2nd fix, regarding the module options doesn't work either:
$ dmesg | grep rtw

Though I used modprobe -rv rtw89_8852be instead of modprobe -rv rtw_8852be since the module modprobe -rv rtw_8852be couldn't be found.
# modprobe -rv rtw89_8852be
rmmod rtw89_8852be
rmmod rtw89_pci
rmmod rtw89_8852b
# modprobe -v rtw89_8852be

Turn off fast boot in the BIOS. That leaves the interface in a faulty condition, which needs a power-off.
With HP laptops, you need to add "disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y" to your options file for rtw89_pci. Late-model HP and Lenovo laptops have faulty BIOS code. I think you can remove the "disable_clk" as it appears not to end with an "=y", and it will do nothing.
I have a 10-year old Toshiba laptop, and rhe 8852be driver works fine. I do not know why HP and Lenovo cannot meet the PCIe specs!!
There is no fastboot option in the BIOS as far as I can see and couldn't find anything online about it either. Found a thread saying it should appear after setting an administrator password but no luck. I reset the security and configuration settings to default, currently the wifi works after booting up.
I did set those module options (disable_clkreq does end up with an "=y" as it can be seen in my last reply, maybe you didn't scroll horizontally to see it).
Seems like factory resetting the BIOS settings worked, so I'll close this now.
For SEO purposes I will let these here:
