Hardware ports provided by MAC engine, so we can easily start differentīased on the reasons mentioned before, we implemented rtwlan. However, rtwlan can run multiple vifs concurrently by holding them on Hardware limitations for early chips, hence the original design of itĪlso restricts the usage of multi-vif support, so latest chipset seems not
Rtlwifi can only support one vif in the same time, most because of the
Multi-Port feature is also supported under rtwlan's software architecture. MAC layer design and Jaguar2/Jaguar3 PHY layer IPs. Have different MAC & PHY settings, such as new multi-port feature for the Compared to the earlier chips supported by rtlwifi like The latest Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips like 8822B andĨ822C series. This is one of the majorĭifference from rtlwifi, which can only support specific combinations.Īnother difference from rtlwifi is that rtwlan is designed to support With different bus modules in the same time.įor example, if we choose 8822BE and 8822CU, only PCI & USB modules willīe selected, built, loaded into kernel. Will soon be supported by rtwlan, with configurable core module to fit
To optionally support three buses includes USB & SDIO. Rtwlan supports 8822BE and 8822CE chips, and will be able to supportįor now, only PCI bus is supported, but rtwlan was originally designed
