Briefly,
I use rtw89_8852be in kernel driver
HARDWARE:
Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:b852]
Lenovo Ideapad 1i
ISSUE:
Newest version of binary firmware 2023_03_10,
rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin, will not load/firmware not recognized on Linux Kernel
6.2.5 (and others):
[] loading firmare: rwt89/rtw8852b_fw.bin
[] rtw89_8852be 0000:03:00.0: no suitable firmware found
[] rtw89_8852be 0000:03:00.0: failed to recognize firmware
Issue persists regardless of which 6.2 series kernel is used.
All previous rwt89/rtw8852b_fw.bin firmware from linux-firmware 2023_02_10 and
earlier loads and works correctly.
I did file a bug report with the details:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217207
There are two workarounds.
1. Copy the 0.27.x firmware from my download site and install it using the
following:
wget lwfinger.com/download/rtw8852b_fw.bin
sudo cp rtw8852b_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw89/.
2. Implement the driver found at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git.
That version can handle version 0.27.x or 0.29.x of the firmware.
