Folks, I'm really desperate now... got a new laptop Lenovo L15 AMD Ryzen 7 :) really super in every way **except the WiFi** no matter what I try Leap 15.3 or Tumbleweed just can't get the WiFi going. I got the machine as it is Ubuntu certified so thought should be ok. Googling seems to suggest it works under Ubuntu, but no matter what I try just cant get this WiFi going under openSUSE seems the driver from Realtek is up to version 4.x but can't find any trace of it on openSUSE. FYI lspci and hwinfo below. lspci grep 8852 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8852 hwinfo --netcard 07: PCI 300.0: 0280 Network controller [Created at pci.386] Unique ID: svHJ.lTCK_+KOKi9 Parent ID: aYFK.1qAv6Us7QUA SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.3/0000:03:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:03:00.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Realtek Network controller" Vendor: pci 0x10ec "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd."

Anyone got any idea how to get this working? -- Cheers and may thanks in advance, Ariez ajv@opensuse.org

thats the firmware, not the driver, and it should already be in the kernel- firmware-realtek package (on TW): /usr/lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin.xz In the corresponding module directory I see: T520:/home/docb # dir /lib/modules/5.12.12-1-default/kernel/drivers/net/ wireless/realtek/rtw88/ insgesamt 336 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13272 21.

Thanks Axel, Unfortunately I have tried everyone of them and none of them work :( In Ubuntu the modprobe module is rtw89pci its anomaly as the HW is numbered RTL88xx. Cheers, Ariez On 02/07/2021 00:26, Axel Braun wrote:

There seems to be no in-kernel driver for that device: $ grep pci.*10ec.*8852 /lib/modules/5.13.0-1.g6ed423b-default/modules.alias <nothing> Ubuntu likely uses an out-of-kernel one. If you have a working ubuntu setup, you can check the lspci -vs 0000:03:00.0 output to see what driver is used there. regards, -- js suse labs

rtw89 likely. It was even submitted for inclusion (but not included quite yet): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20210429080149.7068-13-pkshih@realtek... You might try: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 regards, -- js suse labs

I don't have a working Ubuntu but I do now have a working TW - yes its rtw89. It's working very well I don't have WiFi 6 so can't comment on that. I did try the Sauerland:hardware repo but... Must have done something wrong. I don't have the machine to hand but I will try again. Probably Sunday, or next Monday and report back here. Let's hope it gets included in the kernel sooner rather than later. Regards, Ariez ajv@opensuse.org On 02/07/2021 13:44, Jiri Slaby wrote:
