For the moment, this is it. Once the driver is accepted into the
wireless-drivers-next tree, I will create a new rtw88 branch in
http://github.com/lwfinger.git with this driver to accomodate people that want
to use the driver with an older kernel.. At the moment, it is still in too much
of a flux.

Yes. http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git is the correct one.
From: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips. rtwlan supports 8822BE and 8822CE chips, and will be able to support multi-vif combinations in run-time. For now, only PCI bus is supported, but rtwlan was originally designed to optionally support three buses includes USB & SDIO. USB & SDIO modules will soon be supported by rtwlan, with configurable core module to fit with different bus modules in the same time. For example, if we choose 8822BE and 8822CU, only PCI & USB modules will be selected, built, loaded into kernel. This is one of the major difference from rtlwifi, which can only support specific combinations. Another difference from rtlwifi is that rtwlan is designed to support the latest Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips like 8822B and 8822C series. Compared to the earlier chips supported by rtlwifi like the 802.11n 8192EE chipset or 802.11ac 8821AE/8812AE chips, newer ICs have different MAC & PHY settings, such as new multi-port feature for the MAC layer design and Jaguar2/Jaguar3 PHY layer IPs. Multi-Port feature is also supported under rtwlan's software architecture. rtlwifi can only support one vif in the same time, most because of the hardware limitations for early chips, hence the original design of it also restricts the usage of multi-vif support, so latest chipset seems not take advantages from its new MAC engine. However, rtwlan can run multiple vifs concurrently by holding them on hardware ports provided by MAC engine, hence can easily start different roles on a single device. Based on the reasons mentioned before, we implemented rtwlan. It had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com> Tzu-En Huang <tehuang@realtek.com> Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> v2 - rename from rtwlan to rtw88 - remove lots of magic numbers - add pci null entry for auto load on boot - add rtwdev->mutex to protect against mac80211 callbacks - add rcu lock protection for vif_list and sta_list - refine bits & endian macros to use helper functions provided by kernel instead of create new ones - ieee80211_free_txskb for tx path dropped packets - not register iface_combination since now only one vif is allowed - some fixes suggested by Stanislaw Yan-Hsuan Chuang (12): rtw88: main files rtw88: core files rtw88: hci files rtw88: trx files rtw88: mac files rtw88: fw and efuse files rtw88: phy files rtw88: debug files rtw88: chip files rtw88: 8822B init table rtw88: 8822C init table rtw88: Kconfig & Makefile drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile | 1 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/Kconfig | 57 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/Makefile | 19 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/debug.c | 652 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/debug.h | 45 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/efuse.c | 150 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/efuse.h | 53 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/fw.c | 638 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/fw.h | 182 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/hci.h | 212 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/mac.c | 1045 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/mac.h | 35 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/mac80211.c | 482 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/main.c | 1133 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/main.h | 1200 ++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/pci.c | 1220 ++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/pci.h | 228 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/phy.c | 1675 ++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/phy.h | 125 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/ps.c | 198 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/ps.h | 21 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/reg.h | 404 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/regd.c | 462 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/regd.h | 40 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b.c | 1593 ++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b.h | 271 + .../net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b_table.c | 20783 +++++++++++++++++++ .../net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b_table.h | 18 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c.c | 1170 ++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c.h | 416 + .../net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c_table.c | 4150 ++++ .../net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c_table.h | 16 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rx.c | 144 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rx.h | 30 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/sec.c | 135 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/sec.h | 40 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/tx.c | 271 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/tx.h | 81 + 39 files changed, 39396 insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/debug.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/debug.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/efuse.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/efuse.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/fw.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/fw.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/hci.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/mac.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/mac.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/mac80211.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/main.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/main.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/pci.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/pci.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/phy.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/phy.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/ps.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/ps.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/reg.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/regd.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/regd.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b_table.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b_table.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c_table.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822c_table.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rx.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rx.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/sec.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/sec.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/tx.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/tx.h
