The controller is listed as "Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8852" in the "lspci" listing.
When I tried to configure the wifi interface using MCC, the interface is listed, but, when selected, it returns an error message stating that the interface can't be found. This seems rather absurd, since the device is listed correctly by the utility.
I solved the problem in the following way:
In a root terminal session, run the following, after installing git and the relevant kernel development package:
- Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5
cd rtw89
make
make install
modprobe -r rtw89_pci
modprobe -r rtw89core
modprobe rtw89pci
This will remove the malfunctioning kernel module and replace it with the correct one.
