Multi-function adapters, wifi and bluetooth, can be problematic. The rtl8821cu

chipset is multi-fuction. The rtl8811cu chipset is single-function. For advice

Question: Is WPA3 supported?
|

|
||||
Answer: WPA3-SAE support is in this driver according to Realtek and it
|
||||
works well on some Linux distros but not all. Generally the reason for
|
||||
WPA3 not working on Linux distros is that the distro has an old version

of wpa_supplicant or Network Manager. Your options are to upgrade to a
|
||||
more modern distro (most distros released after mid 2022) or compile and

Question: I have an adapter with the 8821cu chipset which means it supports

bluetooth. The bluetooth works but the wifi does not. What is wrong?
|
||||
|
||||
Answer: There appears to be a hardware bug in some 8821cu based adapters
|

and the fix is to set the driver option ( `rtw_RFE_type` ) in 8821cu.conf.
|

Answer: There appears to be an issue where adapters can be set up differently

by makers. The fix is to set the driver option ( `rtw_RFE_type` ) in 8821cu.conf.
