rtw88 firmware ================ This repository contains firmware images supported by Realtek's wireless driver rtw88. And some of the devices run with more than one firmware file. Basically, a "normal" firmware is necessary to be downloaded to the device. And another is called "wowlan" firmware, it should be loaded when a device is going to suspend. Which means driver will "re-download/swap" the firmware image. The wowlan firmware contains wake up functions that can recognize specific events and send a wake up signal to device if needed, and the system will resume to running state. During resume, driver will then swap the normal firmware back, return to running state. If any distros or platforms do not require wowlan feature, they can _only_ pick the normal firmware. And everything still works fine, except that the device cannot be waken from the wireless NICs. Currently supported devices with corresponding firmwares: RTL8821AU rtw8821a_fw.bin RTL8822BE rtw8822b_fw.bin RTL8821CE rtw8821c_fw.bin RTL8822CE rtw8822c_fw.bin rtw8822c_wow_fw.bin RTL8723DE rtw8723d_fw.bin RTL8723CS/RTL8703B rtw8703b_fw.bin rtw8703b_wow_fw.bin
