description |
This was on a new Lenovo P14s Gen2 AMD. I'm using Ubuntu 21.10 (impish)
The current linux-firmware package (1.201.4+1.201.3) ships with realtek rtw89_pci firmware (/lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin) version v0.13.8.0.
My wifi chip wasn't able to keep a connection for more than a minute when connected to a Rodgers "Advanced Wi-Fi Modem". I searched around tried disabling the power_save and stuff. But that had little to no effect. I was about to open an issue on the upstream project and did a last ditch attempt to see if there were any firmware updates... I found linux-firmware.git and it had
two newer versions!
- v0.13.30.0 (was submitted in May 2021, but it took until october 2021 to show up)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin?id=ec17b637b7ab928ca7ebc0389e0e3921f1cc7d17
- v0.13.33.0 (was submitted in November 2021 and got merged in December 2021):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin?id=4a7e1f5cabaebe5c044b94b91149f35471d1e983
I've downloaded and installed the latest "v0.13.33.0" on a whim and rebooted. And what a pleasant surprise: Instantly, my wifi connection lasted until the rest of the day.
Could you please consider updating this realtek firmware in the next release? Thanks! |
