Here?s how to solve the wifi problem with latest 5.3 kernels:


rtl8822be also supports fully working monitor mode now!


I also managed to get the TX-power to 30db. I will post instructions later today.


Ok, one way to get it running is this:


From clean ParrotOS 4.7 with all updates + latest kernel 5.3 loaded:
Should also work with Kali Linux 2019.4 + latest 5.3 kernel loaded:



  1. go to /lib/firmware/
  2. here you will need to create a folder named rtw88
  3. go to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
  4. here you will need to copy the file rtl8822befw.bin
  5. go to /lib/firmware/rtw88/
  6. here you will need to insert the file you just copied (rtl8822befw.bin)
  7. now you will need to rename the file to rtw8822b_fw.bin
  8. reboot your system


Now your network manager should be able use your rtl8822be wifi adapter without any problems.
I just managed this to work.

Right now my ParrotOS has two bluetooth symbols in the task line but wifi is working. Now I will try to correct the bluetooth.
I?ll let keep you up to date.


Alright, bluetooth problem seems to be solved by just rebooting twice.
After two reboots my ParrotOS only shows one bluetooth symbol in the task line.


You might need to turn bluetooth on and off before or after rebooting to get rid of the second bluetooth symbol.
I actually played around with on and off a little bit and then just rebooted again.


Now the bluetooth seems to work and only shows up once.


TX-power adjustment How-To will follow later on today.
