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.
