Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
Do you have a wifi card in that machine? I don't see any mentioned.
Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
Ok, that's a bit over my head, but might bluetooth be blocking wifi?

Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
Maybe someone who knows more about that will respond.
Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
Ok i dont get it, how do i get the deleted files out of this repo?
the final commit on this: Remove upstreamed firmwares and tools Showing 8 file changes with 4 additions and 5,638 deletions.
Is the .gitignore the only file i need?

I'm not up on wifi issues, but does this return anything other than the BT stuff:
And is there any kind of wifi switch on the device? A Fn key or anything?

Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
actually tried this last night, but intead of the hadess repo i used https://github.com/anthonywong/rtl8723bs in its place as it seems to be more intact. I dont know if that logic makes sence, i'm barely treading water here. but I dont understand what the OP from that thread meant when they "loaded bios and changed apci to PCI" I have almost no options in my BIOSMrEen wrote: ⤴Mon Aug 10, 2020 5:56 pm Oooh, I'm sorry!

Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
yes, fn + F3 is sort of an antenna symbol. FYI fn + F4 puts the computer to sleep, and fn + F7 turns off the touch pad, so these function keys have retained their ... functionality... but I haven't been able to find any changes after fn + F3MrEen wrote: ⤴Mon Aug 10, 2020 6:04 pm I'm not up on wifi issues, but does this return anything other than the BT stuff:And is there any kind of wifi switch on the device?

dmesg | grep 8723
dmesg | grep -i 8723 returns the bluetooth stuff
Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
The other github site you found also says this:
Is there anything useful in the dmesg output? Gotcha. And dangit!Since Linux 4.12, rtl8723bs has been merged. Therefore, this repo is now obsolete
Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
Does this section of the JeremyB script look normal? I'm seeing words like "denied" and "false" and "no", seems like my PC has a negative attitude.

Re: RTL8723BS / no Wifi
Unfortunately, I cannot answer about those things. I had just googled the last one myself, and I think it's fine.
I believe what you said here might be the key to your issue:
I have no idea where to go from here, but I'll do a bit more searching. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
