Realtek RTL8852AE issue on Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6 (Ubuntu 20.04)
I have an issue on my new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ach6 with its wifi card : Realtek RTL8852AE - PCIe 2.0 with ubuntu 20.04 and the 5.12.9 kernel (it's work on Windows 10).
I followed this topic : Network driver for Realtek 8852 20.10 but Modeprobe doesn't find the module "rtw_8723de" (which doesn't exist, I think It's a mistake in regards to rtw88 repository) and the 2 .ko created doesn't work : rtw89core.ko or rtw89pci.ko (we can see it in the lspci).
I tried different kernels like 5.8, 5.11, 5.12 but I have the same problem. Ubuntu 20.04, 21.04, the last Manjaro with gnome... I think its ok in the bios : I disabled secure boot and an AMD protection for CPU and no results ! There is an option with "discrete" and "dynamic" graphics but except a choice between the AMD graphic chipset and the NVIDIA video card, I have no difference.
When I try this solution : https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89, I have this :

Update I have an UEFI Dual boot with EFIs partitions (I start on Ubuntu EFI with grub). Hibernate mode is disabled on Windows and I shutdown with restart mode for it. Bios information :
AMD Platform Security Processor : Enabled (If I disable that, I have nomore bluetooth and no wifi)
Device Guard : Disable
Secure boot : Disable
Secure boot status : Disable
Platform Mode : User
Reset to setup mode
Restore Factory Keys
Update I tried this solution too :
echo "blacklist ideapad_laptop" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad.conf
Update When Ubuntu is starting, I have these messages (quickly) :
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PCI0.PB2],

Update 3 Disable the fast boot on Windows didn't work. I used a powercfg.exe /hibernate off to disable this mod ever (option disapear). But I tried to enable that to uncheck the option fast boot but it didn't change things.
Update 4 Ok I removed an error at the beggining of the session when I checked "Reset to setup mode" in the bios. But no wifi. After that, I reinstalled Ubuntu to be safe and I stay on the kernel 5.8.0.43 (there is 2 kernels with the 20.04 : 5.8.0.55 by default doesn't work, no boot).
integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65
Update 5 Many peoples have the same problem (on arch mainly : no surprise because it didn't work on Manjaro). The conversation continue here (I continue to tell you if there are interessant news) : https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/2
Update 6 The new version of rtw89 works very well for Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.04. Problem solved.
Solution 1:
The module that was built is called rtw89pci.
LD [M] /home/user/Documents/git/rtw89/rtw89pci.ko
Please try:
sudo modprobe rtw89pci
If your wireless doesn't start immediately, check the log:
sudo dmesg | grep rtw
And post the result.
EDIT: You are missing required firmware:
Direct firmware load for rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin failed with error -2
In addition to Jeremy’s excellent method in his comment above, I suggest:
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtw89
sudo cp ~/Documents/git/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw89
sudo modprobe -r rtw89pci
sudo modprobe rtw89pci
Is there any improvement?
