No wireless on Realtek wireless card

[PyroGamer666]

My new laptop(HP 15-bs013dx) has had no issues with linux mint, other than wi-fi not working. I am convinced that a need to install drivers somewhere, but I'm not sure where I would get them. Below are some relevant terminal logs.

See https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8723de
The instructions depend on what your kernel version is

that is the same WiFi card I have, Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411

So, I think that the install method I used will help you out, "Hopefully".

How to install Mediatek MT7630E wireless LAN driver in Linux Mint/Ubuntu
https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1796


Mediatek launched a working driver for their wireless device MT7630E for Linux Mint/Ubuntu which was officially supported only for kernel 3.13 and 3.14.
Download:

Download the driver from here
https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E/archive/release.zip


Install:

Now follow the instructions below:

1. extract the archive in your Downloads directory (or any other directory).
this is a zip file https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E/archive/release.zip

2. In terminal run: YOU MUST BE INSIDE THE FOLDER NAMED => MT7630E-release

What I do is open that folder with Nemo and then RightClick "Open in Terminal"

cd ~/Downloads/MT7630E-release (change the path if you extracted in another folder)

3. now run these commands one by one:

sudo chmod +x install


sudo ./install

It will prompt for your password. Put your password and wait to finish the installaion.

After installation has been completed the wifi will appear in the network manager and bluetooth will be available for use. The driver will load at startup automatically, so you don't need to load the driver every time you reboot.




This has worked every time for me, IF, I remember to make sure that Terminal is inside the folder called MT7630E-release

do l in Terminal to verify that you see a file named 'install'
