| 2 | rtw88 firmware | |
| 3 | ================ | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | This repository contains firmware images supported by Realtek's wireless | |
| 6 | driver rtw88. And some of the devices run with more than one firmware | |
| 7 | file. Basically, a "normal" firmware is necessary to be downloaded to | |
| 8 | the device. | |
| 9 | And another is called "wowlan" firmware, it should be loaded when a | |
| 10 | device is going to suspend. Which means driver will "re-download/swap" | |
| 11 | the firmware image. The wowlan firmware contains wake up functions that | |
| 12 | can recognize specific events and send a wake up signal to device if | |
| 13 | needed, and the system will resume to running state. During resume, | |
| 14 | driver will then swap the normal firmware back, return to running state. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | If any distros or platforms do not require wowlan feature, they can | |
| 17 | _only_ pick the normal firmware. And everything still works fine, | |
| 18 | except that the device cannot be waken from the wireless NICs. | |
