My wifi card is not detected

    Hello,


    I'm using a desktop pc and my wifi card is not detected, even if it's working with normal OS. The model is Realtek RTL8822BE. Is it technically possible to fix it ?

    Self-building an LE image with RTL8852CU support

    My Raspberry Pi 4 was getting terrible wifi reception and the cheapest way I could figure to improve it was to buy a cheap wifi adapter off of amazon.

    I bought an "AX5400M" wifi 6e usb adapter with external antennas, hooked it up and... nothing.

    lsusb showed the device with an ID of 0bda:c832 and dmesg showed it was being recognized as a wifi adapter, but it wasn't actually accessible.

    Some googling indicated this chipset is _very_ new and there is practically no support for it anywhere, but…

    Did you try a recent LE12 nightly? I don't know which platform (x86-64, I guess?) but RTL8822BE is enabled on LE12 nightly. RTL8822BU (usb variant) is working without issue on LE12 nightly for RPi4 platform.

    Does "normal OS" means Linux? If yes, then it's worth to dig deeper, but we need a log...

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

    PS: There is a chance that pastekodi command doesn't work (third party server problem). In that case copy & paste the log (/storage/.kodi/kodi.log) into the attachment of your next post. Devs are working on our own log server to fix it.

    kodi.log is no replacement for pastekodi on HW issues. If upload is not working even after a few minutes use

    Code
    pastekodi -c >myname.log

    and upload the file manually to a site.

    The output of "pastekodi" includes the system log (dmesg) which is where we can see the drivers probe and load firmware (or not) which is more useful. Kodi debug logs don't contain any of that.
