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 rtw89 driver.

  4. ONLY kernel 6.6 to 6.15 are supported currently.

I didn't see any problem, maybe you need to run git pull in your local git?

Hi, The package details show r1308, but the PKGBUILD still point to pkgver=r1257.c580072. Cheers!

@tkee The rtw89 driver has been merged into the kernel since 5.16.

Indeed you don't need this package/driver if your device is working fine with the built-in rtw89 driver, this package/driver is for the users who are using RTL8922AE/RTL8851BU/RTL8852BU chips which are not well-supported by the kernel.

tklee commented on 2025-06-22 22:46 (UTC)

The driver is now included in the mainline kernel, according to this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2222373#p2222373

Tested in 6.15.3-arch1-1 without this dkms and the wireless card (RTL8852AE) works fine.

It seems that this package is not up to date. Upstream there are much newer changes (https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89). I just updated my system (also the kernel) and there was an error that this module could not be built. This is probably because this package is out of date. I will probably have to manually install the latest version from the repo as long as there are no updates here.

UPDATE: it was fixed on the same day by owner of the repo :) Hi the latest update thru #4e57601 (upstream commit) removed the Wifi I also tried to install directly from the repo and it gives bunch of error related to functions dont have specific members. I opened an issue at the upstream repo as well. Issue #229

I have been using this package for a while on my laptop. I got an dkms error while updating to kernel 5.15.93-1 (on Manjaro). It gave a bad return status and exited with 10 .

Here is the make.log that error was pointing out under

/var/lib/dkms/rtw89-dkms/git/build/make.log ;
