New install on HP Omnibook 7 Aero 13 (AI 7) with RTL8852BE-VT - no wifi

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi there, hoping for some support to help me understand what the laptop is doing.

Tried the same (kde) install using both 20251216 and 20251227 and get the same result with both.

The wifi chip is has apparently been in the kernel since ~6.12, so it shouldn’t need the excellent work of LarryFinger/Saurland with their github of out-of-kernel realtek drivers.

However, during install, selecting the wifi network (which it can see), and supplying the password with a “next”, does not then lead onto the repository section.
Instead, it refreshes onto the next section (desktop selection?), and I continue from there to install.

When i get to first boot, the network manager icon shows disconnected, and opening NM up shows “wlo1” as “Never Used” for which a right-click shows the “Connect” option as greyed out.

What can I run that might reveal what is going on with the Wifi driver?

Thank you.

As I see it there is an rtl8xxxu module in the kernel but in its modalias there is no match for the vendor/product IDs for your card (see PCILOOKUP )
I see packages available for your card:

but those are not part of the standard kernel and I guess they are not even available in the install medium.
Maybe you can manage a minimum install with the offline install medium, then download those two packages to a local directory (USB pendrive?), install them locally and then update/complete the install once you are able to load the WiFi driver.
Or maybe you can arrange a LAN connection or USB tether just for the install phase.

Thank you for the speedy response.
Out of curiosity, is the lack you identify surprising? I thought it was all in-kernal…

Specifically - I have the two packages downloaded and can trasnfer them via USB key to the new laptop:
https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=rtl88x2bu-kmp-default&project=openSUSE%3AFactory
https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=rtl88x2bu&project=openSUSE%3AFactory

Q. Do I install one before the other, or does it not matter?

I don’t have similar WiFi cards, but I think that you can install both packages in the same transaction.
You may need to install the kernel-devel and kernel-default-devel packages as well, but they should be called in automatically if required.

i installed both packages with YAST, but no change in behaviour (including after a restart).

YAST did complain during install because it couldn’t update repo’s which i guess would be expected because the system is offline, but the install did succeed without issue.

given i’m offline, i assume these won’t be called automatically.
are there links to download this?

no rj45 on this laptop, so no easy way to get it online…

From the standard repo. This link can also be found via Myrlyn/YaST.

with RTL8852BE-VT

Maybe rtw89?

This repository includes drivers for the following cards:

Realtek 8852AE, 8852BE, 8852CE, and RTW8922AE

But please post first the command in my first thread.

n.b. i’m very happy to tackle this from a clean-sheet install, rather than ask anyone to help untangle any post install changes I have made.
at this stage, it just twenty minutes work… :slight_smile:

Apparently you already have the correct module loaded, so there is something else going on? @Sauerland is reading, so please be patient
(and sorry for the apparently unrelated noise)

As you have said included in Kernel 6.12 with:

Please post, executed as root:

Is there a wifi key?

I Think the realtek firmware is missing.
You have install them by Downloading and insttalling it.
File to download:
https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/noarch/kernel-firmware-realtek-20251217-1.1.noarch.rpm

Maybe it is on your Installation media.

thank you, that seems to have sorted it.

installed the file, restrated, and on re-login immediately saw that it had connected to the wifi (using the credentials supplied during install).

as to why the realtek firmware wasn’t loaded on install… not sure, very much a next > next > next > go! install process with both 20251216 and 20251227.

Q. given this was done offline - and yast complained about not being able to setup repo’s - do I need to do anything to fix this now that i am online?

thanks again. :slight_smile:

As long as you have openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweedinstalled you are good to go.
Try again with YaST Software, if it still complains post the result of:

zypper lr -d

i think we’re all good, thank you again.

Q. is this worth a bug report if an install isn’t installing the firmware for this realtek wifi chipset?

19

As you can check for yourself, your device RTL8852BE-VT PCIe 802.11ax Wireless Network Controller [10ec:b520] is not mentioned in:

LT-B:~ # zypper info --supplements kernel-firmware-realtek |grep v000010ECd0000B
    namespace:modalias(pci:v000010ECd0000B723sv*sd*bc*sc*i*)
LT-B:~ #

so a bug report is a good idea IMHO, but @Sauerland likely has a better insight.
