Wifi Adapter not working

[sdllc03]

I just installed Linux Mint on my notebook and the wifi is not showing up. I have read other topics and have not been successful. I have no hard port for the network, so I can't download any driver updates.

I did a system report and got this:

Network:
Message: No Device data found.
Device-1: Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter type: USB Driver: btusb bus ID: 1-7;4
Chip ID: 0bda:d723

Not sure what else to try at this point and could use some advice.
Thanks.

That chip ID helped a bit.

Before you do anything give it a thorough read, because your kernel will be later than the one DL'd it may not work. That's the deal with drivers, old ones are dropped for specific reasons, and you get what you're getting, no adaptor seen by the system. So you're left with making your own or upgrading your wifi adaptor to one that's current and supported, which can be difficult. Good luck...

Have a look at #'s 5 & 7 for your RTL8723DE here:

If you need a temporary connection to install a driver:

If that didn't work for you, try this one line at a time:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723du
sudo dkms install rtl8723du/0.1

Reboot
