Realtek RTL8723DE Device not detecting wifi [SOLVED]

[Ferridae]

Howdy Mint Networking Community.

I have an HP laptop here (HP-15-dy0xxx) with a Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter that just does not seem to like the internet. (These are the readouts I get in terminal)

I have downloaded a driver (It can be found here. https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de). However, when installing this driver, I cannot seem to get this wifi card to work.

I do not have a direct connection to the router since I do not have the adapter for CAT6 to USB type C. (Which I also do not think will work since I tried testing my type C port, and no dice...)

I do not have a WiFi dongle either, so I am stuck with sticking an SD card inside my machine and downloading drivers the old school way.

Any advice would be much appreciated though! Thank you guys for being so cool.

Hello Gittiest,

This is the output I get when I apply the command:

Code: Select all

ferridae@ferridae-HP-Laptop-15-dy0xxx:~$ sudo modprobe -r rtw_8723de
modprobe: FATAL: Module rtw_8723de not found.
ferridae@ferridae-HP-Laptop-15-dy0xxx:~$ sudo modprobe rtw_8723de ant_sel=2
modprobe: FATAL: Module rtw_8723de not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-56-generic
ferridae@ferridae-HP-Laptop-15-dy0xxx:~$ iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|quality'
lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

From the looks of it, it is not even detecting the WiFi Driver in the first place, giving that it is giving me that error.

Thank you for the response btw

After being able to tether connect my machine and doing an update/upgrade, this is what I was able to find

Code: Select all

snd_intel_dspcfg       28672  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_sof_intel_hda_common
snd_intel_sdw_acpi     20480  2 snd_sof_intel_hda_common,snd_intel_dspcfg
cfg80211              974848  2 rtw88_core,mac80211

[JeremyB]

run these commands in terminal and post the termbin URL after the second command is run

Code: Select all

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && ./wireless-info
cat wireless-info.txt | nc termbin.com 9999

See if the driver here works for you, #7:

Yes, it might help to do a shutdown, then boot it

[Ferridae]

Full reboot (as requested) was done, and it still is not recognizing the wifi card.

[Ferridae]

After a 30 second reboot and the help of Jeremy on Hexchat. I was able to get this wifi adapter working for this machine. Consider this solved!
