read the handbook... it's the second chapter in this webpage.
- RamRodification 4y ago...or pick an operating system where you don't need to read the handbook to get working WiFi.
- djbusby 4y agoI'm on Linux and have to get a rtw8852 driver from some random-ish gitHub repo to get WiFi in a recent Lenovo. Does this mean WiFI is only for Win/Mac?
- gtirloni 4y agoDoes it mean rtw8852 is supported on *BSD?
- trelane 4y agoRTW8852 based wifi, sure. You can get Linux preinstalled, and with full support from some places. I highly recommend doing that if you're going to run Linux. They'll not have that chip though. They'll have one that works.
- unethical_ban 4y agoThat's odd. My 2018 Lenovo Thinkpad had working Wifi out of the box from day 1. The last time I had wifi driver issues on Linux was 2008.
- reactordev 4y agoNew chip for Wifi6 hasn’t made it upstream to the kernel yet and relies on patches.
- alexklarjr 4y agomostly, I can’t make both my usb wifi5 dongles work on ubuntu 22 as well as random Qualcomm wifi4 pcie. These chips must be decade old.
- twelvedogs 4y agoi recently spent 4 hours installing random driver versions to get wifi working on a windows pc, i'm of the opinion wifi is just for phones at this point
