I've seen similar posts in this forum but none of them have worked for me. I recently adopted linux and the first couple of days my wifi was working fine but all of a sudden there is no way on earth to get it to work. I been reading a lot in the subject and found lots of similar issues on the internet. I don't think that many have been solved. Is there a way to actually get a driver for the rlt8822BE in ubuntu 20.04?
I have tried answers from the following posts:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88
Still No wifi adapter for Realtek RTL8822BE found in 18.04
Wifi adapter not found Realtek R8822BE
Lenovo's Wifi RTL8822BE not working on Ubuntu 18.04
I blacklisted conflicting drivers, tried installing a bunch of them, reinstalled linux from scratch several times, nothing seems to work.
Here is some useful information: When running lshw -C network

When running lsmod | grep rtw:
rtw_8822be 16384 0 rtw_8822b 225280 1 rtw_8822be rtw_pci 24576 1 rtw_8822be rtw_core 204800 2 rtw_8822b,rtw_pci mac80211 1028096 2 rtw_core,rtw_pci cfg80211 888832 2 rtw_core,mac80211
I think rtw_8822b should be blacklisted not sure if it is normal that is still appears in there.
Also, running lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 results in the following (from where I found out I have the RLT8822BE network controller.
07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter [10ec:b822] (rev ff)

Please let me know if you know something I can try.
