Include the driver for the Realtek RTL8822BE Wi-Fi chipset
Last modified: 2019-03-07 04:13:31 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build Identifier: The Realtek RTL8822BE driver is missing in the current openSUSE Leap 15. It's a commonly used Wi-Fi chip in recent AMD based laptops. (ex: Lenovo ThinkPad A475, A485) It would be a good thing to include it in openSUSE Leap 15.1 to give a great out of the box experience for AMD based laptop users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just install openSUSE Leap 15 on a laptop with a RTL8822BE Wi-Fi chip Actual Results: The Wi-Fi card is not detected and doesn't work. Expected Results: The Wi-Fi card should work out of the box, without installing a newer kernel from another repository.
The driver code is not available as of SLE15 kernel base code, hence it's hard to support for Leap 15.0. However, we already backported the driver patches for SLE15-SP1 / Leap 15.1 via another FATE. That is, it will be available on Leap 15.1.

Greetings, I have the same issue . Machine : HP Pavilion with Windows 10 Boot Mode = UEFI Operating system : opensuse leap 15.0-1 Installed 2-3 days ago . leap 15.0-1 reports that hardware as RTL8822BE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wifi Adapter Info .... # dmesg | grep -i rtl [ 20.185384] r8169 0000:01:00.0 eth0: RTL8168h/8111h at 0xffffc90001aed000, f4:39:09:e5:1c:bf, XID 14100800 IRQ 127 [ 24.266863] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=07 hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=07 lmp_subver=8822 [ 24.266873] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8822b_config.bin [ 24.403462] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8822b_fw.bin bash-4.4# dmesg | grep -i 8822 [ 24.266863] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=07 hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=07 lmp_subver=8822 [ 24.266873] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8822b_config.bin [ 24.403462] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8822b_fw.bin Waiting for leap 15.1 is not the best solution and does not fix the issue . Is there any work around ? If not, what about re-opening this ticket ? Thanks. Nick

I followed your indications and everything worked fine . At the first boot with the new kernel I got the messages : you need to load the kernel first /boot/vm.......... has invalid signature . What a good/brilliant idea to install linux5.0.0.4 kernel and keeping the old kernel. The Windows 10 that comes with the laptop uses Secure Boot . leap 15.0 installs with the option Enable Secure boot [ bootloader ] It was not enough to disable the linux secure boot but also for windows [ from BIOS/UEFI options ]. After the secure boot was disabled on both windows and boot loader the RTL8822BE was seen in the Network settings. Manually I configured the adapter [ activate at boot ] + via wicked service the port + domain + wifi router were defined. Another boot and the wifi is up ...... Thank you very much for your replay. Without it I would had spent a lot of time to get this wifi done . Best Regrdards, Nick
