Subject: RTL8723BS driver doesn't work for,me but I can help testing
Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 10:57:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bcefba5b-107c-716b-bb60-5b4b2476894b@o2online.de> (raw)

Hello Community

I was referred to you by Martin. I have an older Android TV box that 
runs for over 3 years with Armbian Linux (Debian Jessie Headless Kernel 
3.10.99). I'm looking forward to the new kernels and I'm glad that older 
hardware is still supported.
Together with Oleg(balbes150) and Martin(xdarklight) I am testing the 
new kernel 5.x for ARM ( Amlogic S812 / Meson8m2 ) . Martin has written 
a patch for the SDIO controller in the last days so that also Wifi 
module and MMC are recognized. I could now successfully load the driver 
module RTLWIFI from the kernel. But unfortunately the card is only 
listed on the desktop as "not ready" or in the terminal (iwlist) as "no 
scan result". In the dmesg/lsmod RTLWIFI->RTL8723bs is loaded and the 
module is loaded with version v4.3.5.5_12290.20140916_BTCOEX20140507-4E40 .


I would like to ask you to check the driver because even in kernel 
3.10.99 a newer version (v4.3.16_13854.20150410_BTCOEX20150119-5844) is 
loaded and also at github are hard kernels ( version 2017 Kernel 4.9>) 
and ap17 and thirdyouth (v5.2.17.1_26955.20180307_COEX20180201-6f52). 
More recent ones can also be found - these have already been 
successfully tested with Debian 10. i hope that this may solve the 
problem with my Linux box.

I would appreciate feedback on this request or information about 
debugging . My Linux box is also available for testing purposes

Kindly
Tobias Baumann (RaptorSDS)
