Wi-FI driver issues/additions #3

Closed Evernow closed 2 years ago

Evernow commented 3 years ago

This is a single issue to track all missing Wi-Fi drivers and related issues

Missing drivers:

RTL8822BE
ISO does not include needed drivers for the RTL8822BE to work out of the box Possible fix includes having the [rtw88-dkms-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw88-dkms-git/), but that introduces possible conflicts due to it providing a driver for the RTL8821CE card, which [seems to have issues with the rtw88 package but not the package we already include for that card](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/wifi-not-working-on-hp-notebook-rtl8821ce/6356)
RTL8192EU
ISO also does not include the driver for the rtl8192eu, solution for this shouldn't have any complications, just need to add [the corresponding dkms package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192eu-dkms/)
rt3573
Involves doing this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1164228#p1164228 No idea how to automate this, and an AUR package hasn't existed for a while. On the bright side this is a card from 2012, I've never seen it before, and hopefully never do. However, according [to this post here](https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1330599&sid=60aa536654d65f99fe99d5419716c223#p1330599) after a kernel update this worked out of the box.
rtl8811au, rtl8812au, rtl8821au
Confirm if needed, if it is then [this package should do the trick](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git/)

rtl8814au
Confirm if needed, if it is then [this package should do the trick](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8814au-aircrack-dkms-git/)
rtl8812au
Confirm if needed, if it is then [this package should do the trick](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-dkms-git/)
rtl8723bu
Confirm if needed, if it is then [this package should do the trick](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8723bu-git-dkms/)

Broadcom firmware bullshit
Possible firmware packages are needed for Broadcom cards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/broadcom_wireless#b43

Missing fixes/optimizations:

Power saving
Look into completely disabling fwlps, it shouldn't have any negative effects outside of higher power usage, must investigate further.
