Title: Realtek 8723bs
Post by: olimexman on March 31, 2017, 09:37:05 PM
Hello
I'am triying this board A20-OLinuXino-LIME but for some reason the owner of the project bought a wifi device Realtek 8723bs wich is not included in the supported modules of the linux kernel, when i try to build them from sources it claim the version must be 3.19 or over while the current available kernel's are 3.4.*, is there a way to meet the requirements using a more advanced kernel?
Thank's in advance
Daniel

Cheapest and fastest is probably to buy a supported device.

Backporting the driver you need may mean you pay someone...
