Wireless: Enable RTL8852BE wifi driver

[koba]

[Justification]
Enable Realtek RLT8852BE WIFI.

[Test]
1. put rtw8852b_fw.bin in /lib/firmware/rtw89/
2. boot-up with kernel enabled RTL8852be.
3. Connect to WIFI-AP and test with ping.

[Where problems could occur]
Medium, a new driver so the current driver may have some edge cases didn't consider.

[Misc]
* For generic Jammy, need more patches to enable RTL8852be so only SRU for OEM-6.1.
* firmware, dae5d4603b07) rtw89: 8852b: update fw to v0.27.32.1 has landed on Lunar, so only SRU for Jammy.

Hello koba, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-oem-6.1/6.1.0-1006.6 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy' to 'verification-done-jammy'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy' to 'verification-failed-jammy'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

linux-oem-6.1 6.1.0-1006.6 and linux-firmware 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.10 fix it for me. Haven't done very extensive testing, but the Wifi module was working and throughput was good. Didn't see any Wifi or network related errors or warnings in the kernel log.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

The verification of the Stable Release Update for linux-firmware has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

[Devon Weinman (landrover74656)]

Would it be possible to have the RTW89 driver for the RTL8852BE added to the kernel?

Every time I receive a kernel update I have to hook my machine up to a docking station (which has an RJ45) re-download and install the drivers in the terminal. This is a fairly popular wifi card, so I'm sure others are having the same issue.

The drivers from github (below) work extremely well between kernel updates on Ubuntu-based Mint 21:

https://github.com/HRex39/rtl8852be.git

Please let me know if you need any other information.

[koba (kobako)]

@Devon, are you using jammy/kinectic?

[Devon Weinman (landrover74656)]

@Koba I’m using Jammy. At least that’s what shows when I’m running >sudo apt-get update and >sudo apt-get install upgrade.

[koba (kobako)]

@Devon, would you like to use oem kernel(6.1-oem)?
~~~
#sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c
~~~

[Devon Weinman (landrover74656)]

@Koba, pardon what’s probably are silly questions, but does 6.1-oem have the RTL8852BE driver included in the kernel?

Also will linux-oem-22.-4c work in Mint?

[koba (kobako)]

rtl8852be has been enabled in 6.1-oem.
Could you find the linux-oem-22.04c in Mint?

[Devon Weinman (landrover74656)]

@Koba I was able to find the oem-22.-4c using the sudo command you provided in Mint. It installed successfully and when I restarted the wifi card still works and I’m showing kernel 6.1.0-1007-oem. Crossing my fingers the driver is retained with the next upgrade.

Thanks so much for your help, it’s greatly appreciated.

[koba (kobako)]

@Devon, thanks and enjoy your wireless.
because Jammy needs lots of patches to backport, it's high risky.
Lunar will have rtl8852be enablement.

[Devon Weinman (landrover74656)]

@Koba, are you saying I should upgrade to Lunar Lobster? If so how do I do that (apart from installing off a fresh ISO)? Whenever I run >sudo apt-get install upgrade it says there aren’t any upgrades to install.

[koba (kobako)]

@Devon, you could always use 6.1-oem kernel and that would keep upgrading to last.
if you want use the generic kernel, lunar may be a option but rtl8852be is still working on for Lunar.

[koba (kobako)]

SRUed PR, Lunar.

[Pavlo Zhukov (p35)]

~~~
#sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c
~~~

It worked for me.

Also, a reboot was needed in my case.

Before, when I tried to use https://github.com/HRex39/rtl8852be.git, it didn't work anymore after the recent updates.

[Brian Ford (brian-ford-in)]

~~~
#sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c
~~~

Worked for me as well. Clean OS install using latest KDE Neon iso and a USB wifi adapter for the install and kernel update. Everything just works (seemingly optimally for wifi - 500 Mbps using fast dot com) including Bluetooth. New HP Pavilion laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 5825U w/ Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device b852

Thanks!
