I’ve just bought a new laptop. Installed Silverblue on it and my WiFi didn’t work. My card is RTL8852AE and drivers I’ve found are RTW89. However, I can’t install them. Can’t build them for obvious reasons, also can’t install RPM package as it requires GPG key for that rpm which I couldn’t find.
Can I get around this? Like re-sign rpm I’ve found with my signature and put it in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg ? Or any other way to install it without giving up on SB? Thanks!
You should take a look at: Fedora Silverblue - adding drivers - #7 by kxra
I’ve managed to fix it till reboot by compiling guthub driver with rpm-ostree usroverride. but this isn’t great to say the least. will this driver be provided by any means in near future? cause I saw issues back from 2020 with it, still not changed.
thank you for the part-fix.
Kernel 5.16 with support for Realtek 802.11ax WiFi Driver RT89 (rtw89) is available for F35 from koji for testing purposes. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2022-01-23_Kernel_5.16_Test_Week for override the default kernel in SB until it lands on stable. Works for me on Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 with Silverblue.
