Summary | 0005091: no driver Wi-Fi for Realtek RTL8723BU | ||||
Description | There is no driver for Realtek RTL8723BU, or the network card does not work correctly. When you enter the iwconfig command, the system sees the network card, but it does not work correctly. It is transmitted to monitor mode, but it is not visible to surrounding devices. In the normal mode of operation, vlan0 is not in the settings, or it is, but it does not connect to the access point. | ||||
In previous versions there was the same problem. |
|
Similar problem as in task 0005065 "Add Firmware & Driver support for QCA9377 [rev 30]". |
|
Are you saying that you're just missing some firmware? Or driver itself? You may need to try https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu/ for a driver, if it's that. Unfortunately we can't support every possible wifi device out there, but we do try. Do you have the exact model of the wifi card you're using? Just the vendor doesn't work as they often will switch chipsets without any notification. |
|
I installed the driver on Realtek RTL8723BU, but this network card does not work in monitor mode. |
|
Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can do without significant upstream support, and based on lwfinger's comments on the issue, it doesn't look like he's planning to put in the work - it's a significant undertaking, and he doesn't have time. We do not have the time, nor the hardware to do so. You may want to look into possibly doing it, as you have the hardware. |
