Larry, Thanks for the response and detailed instructions, which allowed me to build and install the rtw88 kernel module. I cannot however seem to get my system to actually use the module. Just to recap this is an HP Omen laptop with secure boot disabled. Upon boot-up both the new rtw88 and old r8822be modules are loaded. If I unload the r8822be module the wifi network connection gets terminated, even if I unload/reload the rtw88 module. Is there something else I should be doing prior to invoking rtw88, e.g., blacklisting the old module? Sincerely, David R.
