RTL8852BE crashing

I have a lenovo loq 15IRX9 and the network card rtl8852be keeps on crashing every 10 minutes i tried creating a file same as said in this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290480. The card refuses to restart unless i reboot the laptop itself .

Re: RTL8852BE crashing

That post is quite old, it can be crashing for a different reason now. You can find what crashed similar to this

$ journalctl -b | grep oops
$ journalctl -b

Also note that Realtek has poor Linux driver support / compatibility. (I replaced mine in Lenovo Yoga with Mediatek. Qualcomm might also be recommended.)

Re: RTL8852BE crashing

Maybe you don't need to reboot. Maybe it's enough to reload the wifi driver:

sudo rmmod rtw89_8852be
sudo modprobe rtw89_8852be

Got an older Realtek wifi card / USB adapter? Donate it to help me improve the drivers!
