Out-of-kernel driver for Realtek BT devices found in rtw89 devides.
This driver will build for kernels 5.15+. If you get build errors, please report them in this repo as an issue. I will make every attempt to backport the code to older kernels.
The repository contains BT drivers for the known BT parts of the following:
Realtek 8852AE, RTW8852BE, and RTW8852CE.
You will need to install "make", "gcc", "kernel headers", "kernel build essentials", and "git".
For Ubuntu: You can install them with the following command
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential gitFor Fedora: You can install them with the following command
sudo dnf install kernel-headers kernel-devel
sudo dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries"For openSUSE: Install necessary headers with
sudo zypper install make gcc kernel-devel kernel-default-devel git libopenssl-devel
##### Installation
For all distros:
```bash
git clone [email protected]:lwfinger/rtw89-BT.git
cd rtw89-BT
make
sudo make installFor all distros:
git clone [email protected]:lwfinger/rtw89-BT.git
cd rtw89-BT
make
sudo make sign-installYou will be promted a password, please keep it in mind and use it in next steps. Reboot to activate the new installed module. In the MOK managerment screen:
- Select "Enroll key" and enroll the key created by above sign-install step
- When promted, enter the password you entered when create sign key.
- If you enter wrong password, your computer won't not bebootable. In this case, use the BOOT menu from your BIOS, to boot into your OS then do below steps:
sudo mokutil --resetRestart your computer Use BOOT menu from BIOS to boot into your OS In the MOK managerment screen, select reset MOK list Reboot then retry from the step make sign-install
DKMS on debian/ubuntu simplifies the secure-boot issues, signing is taken care of through the same mechanisms as nVidia and drivers. You won't need special reboot and MOK registration.
Additionally DKMS ensures new kernel installations will automatically rebuild the driver, so you can accept normal kernel updates.
Prerequisites:
A few packages are required to build the debs from source:
sudo apt install dkms debhelper dh-modaliasesBuild and installation
# If you've already built as above clean up your workspace or check one out specially (otherwise some temp files can end up in your package)
git clean -xfd
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
sudo apt install ../rtw89bt-dkms_1.0.0_all.deb ../rtw89bt-firmware_1.0.0_all.debThat should install the package, and build the module for your currently active kernel. You should then be able to remove an old version and load the new one with the following:
sudo modprobe -rv btusb
sudo modprobe -v btusbabove.
