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

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.

@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!

@xiota Sorry that I am not going to add provides/conflicts on rtw88-dkms. I think no one would create a package like rtw88-dkms as the stable version of rtw88 is just in the kernel. I am not pretty good at English, so please tell me if I misunderstand what you mean.

xiota commented on 2024-07-13 23:32 (UTC)

Setting provides/conflicts is standard practice for git and patched packages. It is in guidelines. Since stable package doesn't exist, you could bundle it with a future update, but many maintainers forget when they put it off for later. If you want to avoid unnecessary rebuilds, you could skip bumping pkgrel. The update would take effect when upstream pushes a new commit.
