ASUS USB-AX56 with USB ID 0b05:1997

Thomot512 opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

I have not been able to use the Asus USB-AX56 with Arch linux 6.0.10-arch2-1.
I tried on three different machine, a tower with Intel CPU and NVidia GPU, a laptop with Intel CPU and GPU, and a tower with AMD CPU and GPU.
I installed the rtw89-dkms-git package from the AUR, set the usb modeswitch rules to avoid having the dongle detected as a mass storage USB.
Yet the computer does not detect any new network interface.

dmesg

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I also noticed that the kernel modules rtw89_* were not loaded automatically. I added rtw89_8852auin a file in/etc/modules-load.d/`.
The modules loaded but it did not make any difference.

While trying to compile from source I got an [-Werror=date-time] error. I took the EXTRAFLAGS+= -Wno-error=date-time out of the if statement and it compiled.
After that I could install and the device worked. It seems the AUR package has an issue.

I am surprised that you got that date-time error. Something is really funny about your compiler. Making the change that you did made my build fail! Perhaps, the code in the Makefile could not determine your actual version. In any case, I removed the offending statement from the code, and eliminated all references to date-time from Makefile.

The AUR package rtw89-dkms-git is for PCI devices. The base rtw89 does not YET support USB modules. That will be rectified sometime, but I have no idea how soon. Code has just been submitted to support the wifi5 devices.

Your first log snippet shows that mode switch has worked. On my 6.1-rc7 system running on openSUSE Tumbleweed, I did the 'make' and 'sudo make install', and then plugged in the device. In my log, I got

You see thefollowing:

The USB storage device is recognized at 99374.486046.
It is disconnected by mode switch at 99375.753361.
The very next line shows the system reporting the appearance of the wifi device.
The usbcore shows the starting of the driver at 99377.646783.
The network interface is renamed in the last line, and NetworkManager has completed the connection

Your system never reaches step 4. Did you do the 'sudo make install' step? There is no dkms routine that will do that for you. The configuration file is present, but you will need to install it yourself.

I don't know what happened but this morning I was able to pull and compile without changes. Thanks!

The snipped you observed was with the rtw89-dkms-git installed using a AUR helper, paru. But since the rtw89 is not supposed to work with the USB dongles, isn't that to be expected that it does not reach step 4?

This is what I get now with the manually installed rtl8852au pulled from git.

Apparently the step 4 is not present, and the computer somehow jumped to step 5, but the device still appear to be working just fine!?

After you did a git pull, it compiled without error because I fixed thew issue, just the way I told you in my previous comment.

If it is working fine, then there are no more issues,
