   4 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rtw88: Enable the new RTL8821AU/RTL8812AU drivers
   5
   6 These are older Wifi 5 chips. RTL8821AU is 1x1, with or without
   7 Bluetooth. RTL8812AU is 2x2, without Bluetooth.
   8
   9 Beamforming is not implemented. It looks like these chips need a
  10 different implementation than what is in bf.c.
  11
  12 Speed tests with RTL8821AU: 137 Mbps download, 144 Mbps upload.
  13 Speed tests with RTL8812AU: 344 Mbps download, 387 Mbps upload.
  14
  15 Station mode and AP mode were tested.
  16
  17 Bluetooth coexistence works. I used my Bluetooth headphones for
  18 several days, listening to music and watching videos. There is only
  19 a problem with the wifi speeds with one router:
  20
  21 With ISP's HG6544C router:
  22 Official driver: 3/5 Mbps.
  23 rtw88: a bit more, but not steady at all. Not enough to watch a 1080p
  24 Youtube video.
  25
  26 With my D-Link Eagle R32 router running Openwrt, on the same channel:
  27 Official driver: 6/10 Mbps.
  28 rtw88: download starts around 30, climbs to 50 / upload is 10 Mbps.
  29 I can watch a 1080p Youtube video.
  30
  31 The music doesn't cut out during any speed tests.
  32
  33 I also tested transferring files to and from my phone. I don't have
  34 other types of Bluetooth devices to test.
