rtlwifi_new (https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new) is a collection of drivers for a dozen different WiFi adapters by Realtek. Some of these drivers may not be as stable as we would like them to be, but new features, bug fixes and sometimes new drivers usually get there before the mainline kernel.
The following WiFi adapters are supported:
* RTL8192CE
* RTL8192SE
* RTL8192DE
* RTL8188EE
* RTL8192EE
* RTL8723AE
* RTL8723BE
* RTL8821AE
The problem with that collection of drivers was that it tried to replace some components of the kernel with their custom versions, something that we do not consider safe and maintainable. Same for the firmware the drivers need.
Now we have patched the code to rename the drivers and change the location of the firmware, to avoid conflicts with the existing ones.
We are currently testing the drivers on the hardware we have. You can also give it a try, and your feedback is most valuable.
