Hi Jes,
hello linux-wireless,

I'd like to know more about the current progress of rtl8723bs support
for Linux.

Googling and reading the mailing list archives found an older vendor driver
https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs

plus patches at
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs

which both aren't ready for Linux according to
https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs/issues/96

According to
https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs/issues/98

there is a newer vendor driver from Realtek at
https://github.com/anthonywong/rtl8723bs
which Anthony wants to get ready for inclusion to the Ubuntu kernel.

But after reading
https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=146902477024130&w=2
it appears that even that newer vendor driver isn't ready for Jes's work.

Anyway, as an owner of such a device, I'd like to help somehow, and be
it as a guinea pig to test on my hardware. The newer vendor driver
crashed on Ubuntu' 4.4 sources and doesn't compile yet on Ubuntu 4.8-rc
sources.

Kind regards,

Hanno
