Hello from thegwchr

Welcome to the thegwchr blog — the place for release notes, status updates, and the occasional bit of fun stuff around our Realtek-on-macOS projects.

What lives here

We maintain a small stack of open-source drivers, firmware, and tooling for getting Realtek Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working natively on macOS:

• Feixiao — a Wi-Fi kext ported from the Linux rtw88 driver for Realtek PCIe cards.
• Starskiff — a menu-bar Wi-Fi client for Feixiao.
• RealtekBluetoothFirmware — a kext that uploads Realtek Bluetooth firmware for native Bluetooth.

What to expect

This is where we'll post new releases, supported-hardware changes, and notable fixes. Check back here, or watch the repositories on GitHub.

Thanks for stopping by. 🦊
