rtw88 firmware
|
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains firmware images supported by Realtek's wireless
|
|
|
|
|
driver rtw88. And some of the devices run with more than one firmware
|
|
|
|
|
file. Basically, a "normal" firmware is necessary to be downloaded to
|
|
|
|
|
the device.
|
|
|
|
|
And another is called "wowlan" firmware, it should be loaded when a
|
|
|
|
|
device is going to suspend. Which means driver will "re-download/swap"
|
|
|
|
|
the firmware image. The wowlan firmware contains wake up functions that
|
|
|
|
|
can recognize specific events and send a wake up signal to device if
|
|
|
|
|
needed, and the system will resume to running state. During resume,
|
|
|
|
|
driver will then swap the normal firmware back, return to running state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If any distros or platforms do not require wowlan feature, they can
|
|
|
|
|
_only_ pick the normal firmware. And everything still works fine,
|
|
|
|
|
except that the device cannot be waken from the wireless NICs.
