Bug Description

SRU justification:
[Impact]
New realtek wifi card ID found on ThinkCentre.
No driver is loaded to support it.

[Fix]
This wifi card is very similar as 0xc822 in rtw88.

[Test]
Verified on hardware, link status is OK, iperf test result is good.

[Regression Potential]
Low.
Add new ID to supported driver.
Test on hw, double confirmed by LP bugs.
This patch is backported from original link due to the 5.8-rc1 driver
file path changed, no function changed.

Maintainer had merged:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/commit/b76b895a90f1168c5223849562fd6e1196b2c351
This git repo is moving by maintainer, not availible by now.

01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device c82f

Looking for a working solution on a fresh install (USB BOOT) of Ubuntu. A work-around helped, for a while, but I would really like to disconnect my Wifi Dongel and use my brand new laptop!

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for your fast reply! I'm glad I'm able to install Ubuntu on a laptop (to enhance the perspective of my knowledge and programming skills).
But: I've managed a working c82f before, through the forum, so I'm willing to give this a go!
When an update of the kernel, as you mentioned, is there, I hope I will recognize the fix. Kudos for everyone who's busy fixing the Lenovo / Realtek issue!!

Kind regards,
Christian.

An update: I've followed the instructions mentioned in github and got the Realtek wifi to work. A clear walk-through on how to get it working again. Thanks for a helpfull link!

Still difficult to comprehend, that a little thing like a wlan controller can cause so much discomfort. Hoping for a fix so Realtek will be included next time.

Dear all,

Thank you for your help. Sadly after the last Ubuntu update the settings changed, so I'm stuck with my wlan-dongle again.

Previously provided links from Daniel (Github) are 404. The (old) README stated:

When your kernel changes, then you need to do the following:
```bash
cd ~/rtlwifi_new
git pull
make
sudo make install
```

Remember, this MUST be done whenever you get a new kernel - no exceptions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But with git pull, I get:

Username for 'https://github.com': C*****7
Password for 'https://C***<email address hidden>':
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git/' not found

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will probably understand what the problem is straight away, but to me it is clear as mud.

Thanks for any advice or any working fix! And thank God for my wlan-dongle!!!

Kind regards,
Christian.

@Christian, that (comment #7) means Aaron is to help back porting the fix to Ubuntu kernel, so that you'll have the driver out of box without additional action taken.

Before that, you may want to try my PPA in https://launchpad.net/~vicamo/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-1886247 . It's still compiling kernels, and it may take up to 10 hours or so. When it's done, you just:

  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vicamo/ppa-1886247
  $ sudo apt install \
      linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-41-generic=5.4.0-41.45+lp1886247 \

This bug is awaiting verification that the 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-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

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!

Please tell me how to best test the kernel, and report the findings.

I've enabled -proposed and ran and update/upgrade all but 3 packages were installed.
(sudo apt list --upgradable):
linux-generic-hwe-20.04/focal-proposed 5.4.0.42.45 amd64 [upgradable from: 5.4.0.41.44]

So: I'll be happy to test and report back, just tell me how to test/verify and I'll do so.
