[x86-64] WiFi Problem with GMKtec G3 Plus

    Hi, I recently bought the GMKtec G3 Plus box with the new Intel N150. I had to install version 13 nigthly builds because version 12 stable and nightly builds didn't boot.

    I'm very satisified with this box, it manages 4k high res video and audio with no problem. At home it's connected to my oled TV and soundbar through E-ARC.

    The "problem" I'd like to bring to your attention is the fact that sometimes the box doesn't connect to saved wi-fi. Sometimes it simply doesn't show any active connections (in Libreelec plugin), other times it shows some networks but not the one I want it to connect to. I tried to disable an re-enable Wi-fi networks (in Libreelec plugin) but it does not help. The only way to make it connect to the saved network is to reboot the box one, twice and sometimes more.

    I tried to make it operate in different wi-fi networks that uses different devices and tecnology (wi-fi 4, 5 and 6) but the problem persists.

    The box uses the Realtek 8852BE wi-fi chip and as much as I know, Libreelec should have the correct driver to operate with it (please confirm).

    I searched the forum and didn't find any relevant thread.

    Could it be a driver problem?

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot.

    Cheers,

    Michele.

    It should be using rtw89 which is a native kernel driver (not an external Realtek vendor driver). There isn't much we can do if the driver isn't performing well other than look at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-…e=&archive=both to see if there's anything we could backport that sounds/reads like a match; although usually the user report isn't technical enough and the patch descriptions are too deep-technical for an easy correlation of problems to patches.

    Please run "dmesg | paste" and "pspci -nnk | paste" and share the URLs so we can see if there's any specific errors and to confirm the exact hardware being used.
