Support for RTL88x2BU

Open JacobF-dev opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, Will this driver work with my RTL88x2BU? If not, could you point me to a driver that will work with monitor mode?

Many thanks, Jacob

rtw88-usb isn't ready yet, but the chipset should be compatible with mac80211, so as features get added you should be able to use them. You should try it here: https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtw88-usb

Principle difference: rtw88 uses mac80211 to do what it does, which gives an interface for very fine control over what the hardware does; in particular, monitor mode comes naturally as a VIF (virtual interface) on all hardware capable of using it.

In Linux 6.2, 8822BU is already supported by rtw88:

Unfortunately my chipset is the rtl8812BU, which I was able to get working in managed mode with https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.

However, the chipset fails to enter monitor mode.

Do you mind revealing your adapter model, vendor ID and device ID?

Even though the filename is rtw8822bu.c, the file itself apparently also includes adapters of 8812BU chipsets (I used this webpage as a reference).

So I think rtw88 in 6.2 may also support 8812BU.
