Solved alderlake, tigerlake and rtw89

Geezer · May 2, 2025

I have got one of these cheap small boxes, with a N150.

Freebsd installs nice and easy.
freebsd-version -kru

14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p3

All seems to be working, except alderlake, tigerlake and rtw89.

Installed from my poudriere repo:
pkg prime-origins

graphics/drm-kmod
net/wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod

rc.conf

kld_list="${kld_list} i915kms"
kld_list="${kld_list} if_rtw89"

kldstat

4    1 0xffffffff839f9000   1e2228 i915kms.ko
11    1 0xffffffff83e00000   24fee0 if_rtw89.ko

First of all, rtw89:

ifconfig -l
igc0 lo0

Nice fast intel wired, but no wireless.

Now alderlake:

pciconf -lv | grep -B4 VGA

pciconf -lv | grep -B4 VGA
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:    class=0x030000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x46d4 subvendor=0x0301 subdevice=0x02f3
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Alder Lake-N [Intel Graphics]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

Have tried with no xorg.conf and with, with all permutations of

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Card0"
    Driver        "intel"
#    Driver        "modesetting"
    BusID        "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

.

Now I note from man rtw89

Code:

This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.  The
     package wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod from the
     ports/net/wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod port needs to be installed before the
     driver is loaded.  Otherwise no wlan(4) interface can be created using
     ifconfig(8).  One should use fwget(8) to install the correct firmware
     package.

fwget

Needed firmware packages: 'gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-alderlake gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-tigerlake wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod-rtw8852b'
The most recent versions of packages are already installed

"Needed firmware packages" and "packages are already installed"
What does that mean?

Is there anything I have to do that I have not done yet?

How do I get alderlake, tigerlake and rtw89 working?

Have you tried only "Identifier" and "BusID", without any "Driver" configuration?

Regarding rtw89(4), the driver doesn't need a "kld_list" entry. The driver auto-loads using devmatch(8), enabled by default: /etc/defaults/rc.conf

Code:

devmatch_enable="YES"   # Demand load kernel modules based on device ids.

Which chipset has the wifi card?: pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network.

What does that mean?

Check if the package is indeed installed (pkg-info(8)). The firmware is installed under /boot/firmware. This driver needs LinuxKPI memory limit enabled. This is configured in /boot/loader.conf.d/rtw89.conf. To take effect, the system must be rebooted:

Code:

% pkg list -x wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8851b_fw.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw-1.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8922a_fw-1.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8922a_fw-2.bin
/boot/firmware/rtw89/rtw8922a_fw.bin
/boot/loader.conf.d/rtw89.conf

I have a Realtek RTL8852AE in a laptop (AMD ThinkPad), but it isn't quite stable on 14.2-RELEASE. Sometimes the kernel panics.

Apropos, you don't need multiple kld_list lines. One line, kernel modules separated by whitespace, side by side will do.

Regarding rtw89(4), the driver doesn't need a "kld_list" entry. The driver auto-loads using devmatch(8), enabled by default: /etc/defaults/rc.conf

Code:

devmatch_enable="YES" # Demand load kernel modules based on device ids.

Which chipset has the wifi card?: pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network.

rtw890@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0xb852 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0xb852

Check if the package is indeed installed (pkg-info(8)). The firmware is installed under /boot/firmware. This driver needs LinuxKPI memory limit enabled. This is configured in /boot/loader.conf.d/rtw89.conf. To take effect, the system must be rebooted:

Code:

Apropos, you don't need multiple kld_list lines. One line, kernel modules separated by whitespace, side by side will do.

Yes. I like them one per line, so I can comment them.

Still no further.

I just ignored this. I had assumed that I would see ifconfig -l include rtw890 as well as igc0 lo0 before ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtw890.

Well I have done it now, and have got wlan0.

I can do ifconfig wlan0 up list scan and ifconfig wlan0 ssid whatever.
When I do dhclient wlan0 I get wlan0: no link .............. giving up.
But I assume I do now have use of the wireless card, because at least I can get a list of ssid.

So that is one out of three. Now I need to get the lakes working.

If you have more than 4GB RAM use this setting in /boot/loader.conf

Code:

compat.linuxkpi.skb.mem_limit=1

Edit: CPU microcode update also should help sysutils/cpu-microcode

Explain to a newbie, why are you suffering so much, trying to make WiFi work on this hardware? Even if WiFi somehow works, you still won't get all the benefits. It has already been written on this forum that either the speed will be 5 times lower than stated, or there will be big delays, or there will simply be constant disconnects. The driver is still for Linux. And the advertising banners say that such speeds can only be achieved under Windows 10-11 and Linux. Maybe I didn't understand something.

The installed net/wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod package has a pre-configured, split user defined separate loader config file put in place, no user intervention is needed:

According to dmesg, there is no indication of the i915kms driver being loaded. It lacks drm messages.

The following is an example dmesg from a system with a AMD iGPU, loading amdgpu driver, cherrypicked some of the messages (from 100+):

Code:

[drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
...
[drm] initializing kernel modesetting (RENOIR 0x1002:0x164C 0x17AA:0x5097 0xC1).
...
drmn0: successfully loaded firmware image 'amdgpu/renoir_sdma.bin'
...
lkpi_iic0: <LinuxKPI I2C> on drmn0
lkpi_iic1: <LinuxKPI I2C> on drmn0
lkpi_iic2: <LinuxKPI I2C> on drmn0
...
VT: Replacing driver "efifb" with new "drmfb".
...

Check kldstat(8) again if the Intel driver (i915kms) and the firmware is loaded.

Example amdgpu driver:

It is definitely there. And it has loaded drm.ko too. And yes, it is not there in dmesg.

Is Alderlake actually supported in 14.2? Should I wait for 14.3, or 15.0? Or have I missed something simple and obvious?

Erichans · May 4, 2025

Which version of drm-61-kmod are you using? On 14.2-R, latest repository branch, it got updated recently (2025-04-24):

Code:

[1-0] % pkg rquery -x -r FreeBSD '%o\t%n-%v' '^drm-61-kmod'
graphics/drm-61-kmod    drm-61-kmod-6.1.128.1402000_3

graphics/drm-61-kmod drm-61-kmod-6.1.128.1402000_2

That is 6.1.128.1402000_2 as opposed to your 6.1.128.1402000_3

Should upgrade my poudriere repo overnight? I was going to wait to a few days after 14.3, but I could do it now.

Note, my repo is higher priority to the quarterly. But I have also tried:

There is a single drm message in dmesg I overlooked, but it's not much of help

Geezer said:
[drm] Got Intel graphics stolen memory base 0x0, size 0x0

Installing drm-kmod and intel firmware should have been sufficient.

Perhaps try drm-515-kmod.

Geezer · May 5, 2025

Yes, I noticed that base zero and size zero did not sound too good.

Did try 515. Didn't work. Think it is a going forward thing, not going backward.

Geezer · May 5, 2025

Well I can use scfb, for the time being.

Geezer · Jun 8, 2025

14.3, but it still does not work.
