Supported Hardware¶

Feixiao aims to support the following Realtek PCIe chipsets:

Chipset	Bands	Notes
RTL8822BE	2.4 / 5 GHz
RTL8822CE	2.4 / 5 GHz
RTL8821CE	2.4 / 5 GHz
RTL8812AE	2.4 / 5 GHz
RTL8814AE	2.4 / 5 GHz

Bus support

USB and SDIO variants are unsupported, and are not planned to be supported. Only PCIe cards are in scope.

Combo cards¶

Many Realtek cards are Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combos. On these, the Wi-Fi radio is PCIe (handled by Feixiao) while the Bluetooth radio is an internal USB device (handled by RealtekBluetoothFirmware). You generally need both projects for a fully working card.

Checking your card's PCI ID¶

If you're unsure which chipset you have, identify it by its PCI ID:

macOSLinuxWindows

Open System Information → PCI (or Network) and look for a Realtek wireless adapter. Cross-reference the device against the table above.

lspci -nn | grep -i realtek

Open Device Manager → Network adapters, then Properties → Details → Hardware Ids.

If your card's chipset is in the table but its specific PCI ID isn't yet bound to the driver, ensure you're on the latest commit — see Troubleshooting.
