Reminders:

  1. If your USB wifi adapter is in CD-ROM mode, you need to use the command usb_modeswitch or eject to switch it to "Wi-Fi Mode" first.

  2. Before installing this package, make sure your system has the corresponding kernel headers and the package base-devel installed.

  3. You have to manually blacklist or remove any conflicting drivers installed except the in-kernel rtw88 driver.

  4. Experimental support for RTL8814AE chip (device id: 10ec:8813) was added, please test and report here if you have this card, thanks.

@henriquesg

Please remove rtw88-dkms-git package and then reinstall the latest version of it.

In a word, the rtw88-dkms-git installed in your system is too old to be compatible with kernel 6.16, please update it.

sudo pacman -Rn rtw88-dkms-git

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtw88-dkms-git.git

cd rtw88-dkms-git

makepkg -si

looks like it stopped working due to breaking changes on 6.16 - it was recently updated here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/commit/73605121cc61484b6806ef43f97849f4007978b8

installing this on kernel 6.15 with rtl8822ce or rtl8821au got system freeze while connecting to wifi ssid, now fixed by uninstalling it

@fahimscirex dependencies updated, thank you!

it tries to install every linux-firmware packages now - it should be updated to handle only the required firmwares

xx777 commented on 2025-04-12 03:06 (UTC) (edited on 2025-04-12 03:36 (UTC) by xx777)

If your wifi adapter doesn't work and you see a line like this when running sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware,

[24672.978460] rtw_8814au 5-2:1.2: Direct firmware load for rtw88/rtw8814a_fw.bin failed with error -2

that means your system lacks the firmware needed, try upgrading linux-firmware to 20250408.c1a774f3-1 or later.

If your distro doesn't provide these newer versions of linux-firmware, run these commands to install the firmware manually.

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

cd rtw88

sudo make install_fw

@dreieck Sure, I will add them if the package rtw88-dkms is ever created

dreieck commented on 2024-11-14 20:21 (UTC)

Can you please add provides=("rtw88-dkms") and conflicts=("rtw88-dkms")?

Regards and thanks for the package!

@muziknavi I made some changes and it should work now.
