wifi on Linx 7 (rtl8723bs)

<< < (8/9) > >>

mdt01:
Thanks. Enabling CONFIG_PINCTRL_BAYTRAIL did not help.

I am out of time to work on this for a while now. I will do some debugging with PrintK() if I get time, or I might see if I can strip things out of the version of Ubuntu that is working on this hardware to minimize memory use in that way.

Thanks for the support.

I also need a RTL8723bs driver, & have no intentions of trying to compile one.
But didn't your thread start about ARM-based?
I'd prefer the wifi-files for TC64, but could manage for 32bit - I think.
Perhaps it was bad to buy latest chinese-cheapo-Wintel ?

labeas:
I had a look at the MASSIVE ubuntu article mentioned:
http://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/2017/06/customizing-ubuntu-isos-documentation.html
and without understanding about "spindown" ..etc., noted several mentions
about <Intel Atom>; almost implying that the atom doesn't behave like a normal
x86. That's the first factor that I HAD considered when debugging this multi-
core atom problematic Laptop.
 Have any TC users fixed this RTL8723bs - UEFI problem ?

Juanito:
Your link seems to suggest that you need a 32-bit UEFI boot loader for an atom - have you tried that?

I assume you’d need the grub2-multi extension from the 32-bit core repo to write the boot loader.

Something analogous to:
--- Code: ---sudo grub-install --target=i386-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/sdc1/EFI/BOOT --efi-directory=/mnt/sdc1 --removable
--- End code ---

AFAIR I've confirmed that *THE* TC64 <grub2-multi> booter, which this
whole project centres around, DOES boot 32bit "core" V10; apart from
the TC64:V10kernel & v7.2;apps.

Doesn't the one that I'm using boot both 64 & 32bit kernels?

I've read that <grub can't just have the *.cfg edited; it needs the
alterations to be INSTALLED>. This doesn't match the original instructn
and thread about the <line break problem in the *.cfg>.
Have YOU actually used it ?!

If I could get the URLs for the rtl8723bs firmware and the other *.tcz
for the wifi, we could perhaps close this problem. I'll search for them.
BTW a simple SEQUENCE of steps, with each one CONFIRMING its output, is
better than a smartass-automatic-popup-menu based wifi-connector, for
such PROBLEMATIC tasks.
