Hello,

I'm on LibreElec and it doesn't support my wifi card by default, i doesn't even appears in the connections setting.

So i have 2 question:
1) Is it possible to add a such support with a file ?
2) If so, how do i know wich file i'm supposed to download since i don't know the exact model of the said wifi card ?

then feed it into a search engine with the format "does libreelec support (insert device id/name/whatever here)"

or more generically "libreelec (insert device id/name/whatever here)"


since its linux based, it is generally expected users who wish to do advanced level configuration know some linux or are able to figure it out from tutorials

Indeed, libreelec doesn't support it out of the box, but i'd like to know if it is even possible to fux it and google failed to give me the answer.

it would be compiled into the kernel or as a kernel module

you wont know if the device supported if you dont even know what the device is, the link i gave you should fill in that information


this would be the operation if it has not been compiled to support your device - https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/add-remove...el-modules

I really searched tutorials, but non of the ones i found gave me the answer i expected.

So, since my card model is RTL8822BE, wich module am i supposed to load ?

After some research, i finally found the firmware and it is now saved into the folder /usr/lib/firmware, but my wifi is still not working.

Erratum: folder is /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi

Sorry for the DP, but the post can't be modified or deleted.

In short:
-My wifi card is detected by the lspci command.
-The firmware exists in the firmwares folder
-Lsmod says the module rtw_8822be is loaded

But despite that, my wifi persists to not working.
