Realtek 802.11abgn/802.11ac chipset support
Contents
This section documents the rtwn driver and supported chipsets.
(This is just a placeholder for now; please poke AdrianChadd if you've got some info or would like to help.)
Overview
Supported Chipsets
Most of these have PCIe and USB variants. However, the bulk of the functionality implemented by the chip is the same between both.
- RTL8188EU/EE (2GHz 11bgn)
- RTL8192CU/CE (2GHz 11bgn)
- RTL8192EU/EE (2GHz 11bgn)
- RTL8812AU (2/5GHz 11abgn/ac)
- RTL8821AU (2/5GHz 11abgn/ac)
Driver Components
- sys/dev/rtwn: main driver, shared hardware components, net80211 related hooks
sys/dev/rtwn/rtl<chipset>: specific chipset components/HAL for that particular chipset
sys/dev/rtwn/rtl<chipset>/usb: USB specific components / bus attachment
sys/dev/rtwn/rtl<chipset>/pcie: PCIe specific components / bus attachment
Driver Debugging
rtwn(4) supports run time log debugging if RTWN_DEBUG is compiled into your kernel. Please see Debugging for more information.
