PineTab (early adopters) wifi broken in kernel 6.12 - bartgrefte - 03-23-2025
Recently I updated Mobian to Trixie, followed by updating the kernel from 5.15 to 6.12. Couldn't update the kernel to 6.* earlier because it wouldn't boot, fortunately that issue has been fixed
Unfortunately wifi is broken with kernel 6.12, it can't find rtw88/rtw8703b_fw.bin and rtw88/rtw8703b_wow_fw.bin, boot with kernel 5.15 and wifi works again.
Since 5.15 works, does this mean I'd have to compile my own 6.12 with that firmware put in if I want to use 6.12?
edit: firmware-realtek was missing, apparently a dependency with 6.12.
