Any new updates from Realtek? #7

Closed yavincl closed 4 years ago

yavincl commented 4 years ago

Could you ask Realtek if they have a newer version of this beta private driver? (and then upload it here) I am interested in what performance improvements they could have made.

My wireless router has been working very well with this driver since I finished the scripts controlling the network and any quirks I noticed on my trials.

I have just now retried the rtlwifi_new driver, but it is not yet fit for this application. Yet, there seems to be advancements being made. Great work, keep it up.

Thanks for the 5.6 revision!

bump. Is it just me or is this specific chip abandoned because of its low cost :|

Why do you think anyone reading this would have any knowledge of Realtek's plans. They abandon manufacture of chips because they have a cheaper design, a faster design, or who knows?

There are no newer drivers. Their developers are working on newer chips.

Well, rip. Not sure what I was expecting (trying my luck?), but this is indeed a low-end BGN wifi adapter. makes sense to abandon it from a financial standpoint at this point.
