[Bug 1971656] Re: rtw89_pci failure on Lenovo P14s with Ubuntu 22.04
As maintainer of an rtw89 repo at GitHub, I have seen lots of complaints about this kind of hangups. Nearly all of these happen with Lenovo laptops. The remainder are a few HP machines. For some reason, the BIOS or the PCI interface in the Lenovo laptops are incompatible with the PCI code used in RTW89. My laptop is a Toshiba from 2014, and it never has any problems, thus I cannot diagnose the difficulty. The same is true for the software developers in Taiwan, with whom I have discussed the problem. This is the first I have heard that the problem started/got worse around April 11. That sounds like a candidate for bisection, which would have to be done with the mainline kernel, or even better, the one at wireless-next (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless- next.git). Due to special patches in the GitHub version needed to build on older kernels, I upgrade the repo in batches, and lose the details of each individual patch from wireless-testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971656 Title: rtw89_pci failure on Lenovo P14s with Ubuntu 22.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1971656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

None of my hardware can duplicate this problem. Is the firmware installed? Look at the dmesg output to look for firmware failures. If you do have the correct firmware, there are two options that might help. Try the following: sudo modprobe -rv rtl8192ee sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ee aspm=0 If that does not help, then try sudo modprobe -rv rtl8192ee sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ee msi=0 If any other options show up, then your /etc/modprobe.d/ directory is screwed up. Delete the offending files and try again.

[Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]
The troy branch loads rtl8192eefw_new.bin; however, after some testing and consultation with Realtek, I determined that there was no need to keep separate names. For that reason and to minimize the disk usage, the kernel loads rtl8192eefw.bin. You can copy the one with the _new in its name to the one without, if you want to use the later version. The updated firmware is already in the linux-firmware repo, and will be propagated through the distros in time. The rtl_cam logged items indicate the changing of the wifi keys. The second one tells you that the connection has been dropped. It is NOT the cause of the drop. I have been using the driver for over 24 hours. There have been several disconnects in that time; however, the recovery has been automatic. One thing to note is that the transmit is somewhat fragile. Operations like continuous iperf or flood pings will likely cause a failure and are discouraged at least for the moment.

[Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]
I am beginning to understand this problem, but I do not have a general fix. In kernel 3.14, the authors of mac80211 changed the API (applications interface) for routine ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame() to be able to intercept a certain kind of error. For those drivers that could not fit the new model, which includes the Realtek codes, they created a new entry point that used the old method. It was named _ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame(), i.e. it has an underscore. For out- of-kernel drivers such as those in the rtlwifi_new repo, there must be code that determines at compile time which API needs to be used. Such code is in these drivers. If the kernel version is 3.14 or newer, use the underscored version. If older use the one without. Why does it fail here? The reason is that Ubuntu applied the API change to their 3.13 kernels! Now the decision gets harder. If the kernel is 3.14, or if this is Ubuntu with version 3.13.11 + some unknown patch level, use the new API. That gets quite difficult; however, if I take the simple step of having all 3.13 versions use the new API, then I break every user of 3.13 that does not run Ubuntu. I refuse to do that for the following reason. Ubuntu should not have changed the API in mid 3.13!! In doing so, they make this kind of problem for everyone trying to provide out-of-kernel drivers. For me to fix the problem for Ubuntu users by breaking every other distro's users would be effectively to reward Ubuntu for what I consider to be their bad behavior. How do I know this is the problem. First of all, the make log that was posted shows warning: passing argument 1 of ‘ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]. It is true that warnings can usually be ignored; however, when arguments have an incompatible pointer type, the end result will usually be a kernel crash. When that warning occurs for a routine that has changed API, it really sticks out. Secondly, I see this change in Ubuntu's 3.11.0-36 patch file. What can Ubuntu users do? To my thinking, switching to a 3.14 or newer kernel would be best. If you really want to stay with Ubuntu's 3.13.0-36 kernel, then run the following command in the rtlwifi_new directory: sed -i 's/ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame/_ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame/g' rtl8*/trx.c That will change the code to the new API for every kernel. Of course, that will break every kernel older than 3.13, and the command should be run *ONLY* if you see warnings of the kind noted above. To revert that change, you will need to run 'git checkout -f'. Sorry that it has taken so long to sort this out, but I really never expected the API to change in the middle of kernel 3.13 for any distro. If the tone seems to be too bitchy, remember that I'm really angry about what has happened, and all the time I have wasted on sorting it out. My comments here are a lot milder than the way I really want to say them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239578 Title: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hwe-next/+bug/1239578/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Even if it works on Windows and does not on Linux, the problem can still be in the router. The Windows driver has its own MAC-layer stack and it could be tweaked to work with lots of routers. The Linux driver rtl8192ce uses the kernel's own MAC layer called mac80211. The driver from the Realtek site uses its own stack. If you are having problems with the driver from the Realtek site, please be aware that I do not support that one. The in-kernel driver is tested using 4 different routers.

Is that TP-Link AP running the latest firmware? If there is a version of openWRT for that TP-Link router, then you should switch.

I am not familiar with Fedora. My distro of choice is openSUSE and rtl8192ce has worked on every kernel release and version of openSUSE since kernel 2.6.38 when the driver was added.

What name would give to the people that do the kind of Invalid - Confirmed - Invalid - Confirmed toggling that was taking place before I used that name? At least that silly nonsense stopped! I have grown rather tired of the kinds of things that are said and done on these lists concerning the Realtek drivers. I am not an employee of Realtek, nor am I paid by them. In addition, I have no knowledge of what is needed to make the chip work other than what I deduce by reading the code! You can also do that. If I had not done the porting to the kernel, you would all be trying to figure out how to compile the factory drivers on newer kernels, and suffering the kernel crashes and memory leaks that happened before I reported those problems to Realtek.

Just how do you think that adding antenna diversity for the rtl8188ee is going to help a totally different device?

The package would be for the kernel, in general, and not for any specific distro release.

[Bug 902557] Re: Wireless not working in 12.04 for rtl8192ce (RTL8188CE)
All firmware files for Realtek devices are in the linux-firmware git repo. Surely Ubuntu provides this as a standard package. I know that openSUSE and Fedora both do. There is a patch that was merged into kernel 3.7 and is being backported into all the stable kernels to detect a so-called B-Cut of the RTL8188CE cards. This patch helps a number of those cards. In addition, there is another patch that implements full support for all these cards, but it did not make the merge for 3.7. Furthermore, it will not be backported as it is too invasive. Users with this card should be able to get full support using kernel 3.8 or compat-wireless packages from November 1, 2012 or later. Of course, that date is just a guess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902557 Title: Wireless not working in 12.04 for rtl8192ce (RTL8188CE) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/902557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
