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. Bergstein

Tony,

Thanks for your response.  Can you advise as to the availability of the
new rtw88 driver?  As it appears to be under development, I could not
locate a copy of the code for local compilation.

David,

Use the command 'git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
-b rtw88' to get a copy of the new driver for RTL8822BE and RTL8822CE
in a stand-alone form. All that is needed is 'cd rtlwifi_new && make
&& sudo make install'. This version will build on kernels v4.4 and
newer. As I have time, I will be backporting to kernels at least as
old as 4.0.

I would appreciate your comments and bug reports.

Larry
