| rtw88 firmware |
| ================ |
| |
| This repository contains firmware images supported by Realtek's wireless |
| driver rtw88. And some of the devices run with more than one firmware |
| file. Basically, a "normal" firmware is necessary to be downloaded to |
| the device. |
| And another is called "wowlan" firmware, it should be loaded when a |
| device is going to suspend. Which means driver will "re-download/swap" |
| the firmware image. The wowlan firmware contains wake up functions that |
| can recognize specific events and send a wake up signal to device if |
| needed, and the system will resume to running state. During resume, |
| driver will then swap the normal firmware back, return to running state. |
| |
| If any distros or platforms do not require wowlan feature, they can |
| _only_ pick the normal firmware. And everything still works fine, |
| except that the device cannot be waken from the wireless NICs. |
