sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
A repo for the newest Realtek rtlwifi codes.
This code will build on any kernel 4.19 and newer as long as the distro has not modified any of the kernel APIs. This repository includes drivers for the following cards:
RTL8822BE, RTL8822CE, RTL8821CE, and RTL8723DE.
Installation instruction
Requirements
You will need to install “make”, “gcc”, “kernel headers”, “kernel build essentials”, and “git”. You can install them with the following command, on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essentials git
Installation
For all distros:
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git -b rtw88
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
disable/enable a Kernel module
sudo modprobe -r rtw_8723de #This disable the module
sudo modprobe rtw_8723de #This enables the module, you can add options like ant_sel=2
Then Wi-Fi still do not work. Try the second step again.
