e3ec7017 - rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 11:47:27 +0000

rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driverThis driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supportsRealtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implementedthough.The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported byrtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address rangesare totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. Tocommunicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to havebetter utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To providerich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to proposea new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:Chin-Yen Lee Ping-Ke Shih Po Hao Huang Tzu-En Huang Vincent Fann Yan-Hsuan Chuang Zong-Zhe Yang Tested-by: Aaron Ma Tested-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211008035627.19463-1-pkshih@realtek.com List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile

e3037485 - rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver

Fri, 26 Apr 2019 12:17:37 +0000

rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driverThis is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station modefunctionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.gitFor RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.binFor RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.binAnd for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add supportfor USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seenin this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the sameexcept for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.Supported: * Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)Missing feature: * WOW/PNO * USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS) * BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs) * Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported) * Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)Potential problems: * static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process. But reload function are under development, will be added soon! * TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly, or say, not reporting for "every" packet.The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C arecombo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:Ping-Ke Shih Tzu-En Huang Yan-Hsuan Chuang Reviewed-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Reviewed-by: Brian Norris Tested-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile

26f1fad2 - New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211)

Thu, 15 Oct 2015 00:44:51 +0000

New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211)This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723audriver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided torewrite this driver from the bottom up.Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and LarryFinger for help with the vendor driver.The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git branch rtl8723au-mac80211This driver is still under development, but has proven to be verystable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has supportfor OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in thestaging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channelsupport. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor modesupport at this point.The driver is known to work with the following devices:Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru)Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile

f1d2b4d3 - rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory

Mon, 07 Sep 2015 20:59:16 +0000

rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directoryNow that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directoriesrtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be indrivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directorystructure, but does not result in any configuration changes that arevisable to the user.Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile
