WIFI

If Wifi isn't working, first check if the firmware file can be loaded!

dmesg | grep rtw_pci

In Ubuntu 18.04 the firmware for rtw8822 wifi adapter (ASUS TUF FX505DV Laptop) isn't included in linux-firmware ubuntu deb package! So after a Kernel update it can be necessary to fetch it again and copy it to the lib folder.

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/firmware/linux-firmware.git
cp ./linux-firmware/rtw88/rtw8822c_wow_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw88/

eduroam

Eduroam does not work with the default wpasupplicant 2.6 version. I have made a backport of wpasupplicant 2.9 from Ubuntu 19.10.

wpasupplicant package 2.9

You need to install that package. Please download from this wiki and unzip it.

sudo apt install libnl-route-3-200
sudo dpkg -i wpasupplicant_2.9-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Check that the wpa supplicant service is running with

sudo systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service

In the Wifi Settings for eduroam choose in the “security” settings

crrcsim

crrcsim is the flight simulator. The Taranis RC can be connected to the laptop via USB. Install the crrcsim package

sudo apt install crrcsim

Add the following to the .profile

export SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0

To start the simulator run

crrcsim
