Wlan issue on LenovoIdeapad-1 15AMN7 Laptop [Solved]

It just suggests an alternative driver, so you can try on current/any distro:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git ; cd rtw89 ; make ; sudo make install ; echo 'blacklist rtw89_8852be' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtw89_8852be.conf

Copy-paste-Enter , Reboot.

Hello, I have installed MX Linux KDE 23.1 on a LenovoIdeapad-1 15AMN7 Laptop. Works fine. Using the command above it found wifi driver and work as expected. Thanks a lot. I got an another issue. Writing it to another post.

That github driver will have to be rebuilt for every new kernel. Which happens every month or two for the 6.1.0 kernel which is default in MX 23.

The Liquorix kernel may have it as rtw89_pci:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/modules/6.7.3-3-liquorix-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/rtw89_pci.ko.xz

on my system.

It also appears that Debian kernels 6.4 or above have enabled it: https://packages.debian.org/search?mode ... w89_pci.ko

i.e. our AHS kernels or the debian backports versions.

Yep, it's there on 6.7.1 , too (directly from Liq.)

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/modules/6.7.1-1-liquorix-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/rtw89_pci.ko.zst

Then keeping the other one blacklisted (which's already done) may be enough :)

I did find a PPA that we could port over an rtw89-dkms package from for our repos: http://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kelebek ... tw89-dkms/, though we'd probably have to edit the dkms file to avoid builds on kernels 6.4+.

In case you do that (dkms) maybe you add it to the checklist of the new tool to remove unneeded wifi drivers, in MX Cleanup.
