Hi @tomaspinho, I have tried the rtw88 driver and it is displaying the connection speed, but I have the issue of it being slow especially upload direction. It can also be unreliable if I transfer files in my homelab nas etc. Clogging up the overall network exprerience I get from just browsing stuff on the net etc. So I will keep on using this driver, since I got absolutely no issues, other than what I wrote.

Hello @nikost74,

Thank you for your comment.

Unfortunately, no improvements will be made on the module given Realtek has abandoned its development. We're just keeping it compiling on the repo.

Have you tried the new rtw88 module available on the kernel? It has fixed the issues for many users.

Many thanks for this driver and package, I got a stable wifi connection now. I am using KDE desktop and noticed when using the network GUI that you can chose in the network icon, chose the AP and expand the view, you can see the actual connection speed. With this driver it will always display 0 bit/s. Is there any way of fixing this or is this an issue from the upstream source?

Hello!

If you are using this driver because rtw88 fills the journal with beacon loss and keeps disconnecting, please try rtw88 again:

@jackoneill Yeah, you right. I just didn't know yay requires --devel for that, so I thought my local package was up to date

jackoneill commented on 2024-01-24 22:09 (UTC)

@nikelborm I believe you just need to run makepkg again and it will pull the latest code from git.

Please update the package version. It is incompatible with latest linux kernel. Fix was merged already

With linux 6.7.0, this driver does not work again. Although for me, this problem is already solved by using the shipped driver that comes with the kernel.

Related issue.

The issue is fixed with version 6.6.7 of Linux.
