[opensuse] rtl-8732BS
Hello, any chance to have the wifi card rtl-8732BS work with Leap? right now it's not even seen by the kernel thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There is a pretty good chance you can make it work. I think that chip is also used in e.g. the Intel Computestick, some tablets/pads and maybe the Minix Neo X7. I have an Intel Compute stick, it runs Ubuntu, so if it does have the rtl8732, it works. I'll check later today. The Wifi chip is connected with SDIO, which is probably why you're not seeing it at all. (do we have an lssdio?) Maybe that is what you need focus on, getting SDIO to work in/with Leap. Maybe some of these will be useful to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2249936 https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs http://superuser.com/questions/839260/set-up-rtl8723bs-sdio-card -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Looking at my Intel Compute Stick, I managed to install openSUSE 13.2 on it, although it crashes when I login over the GUI and I don't have any Wifi. I've tried to restore the stick to the Ubuntu 14-something that it came with, but that crashes too :-( -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

jdd, I think you have a good chance of getting rtl-8732BS to work with Leap, but you probably have to get the kernel module source from github and build it yourself. After adding nomodeset, my openSUSE 13.2 is running fine on the compute stick, and I'll now attempt to build the wifi driver. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I hope so, and as I have the same leap on my desktop, I paln to build the module there :-) but I need some delay :-) that said, may be this realtek is also used for other devices :-) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I think the device is actually an rtl8723bs. The driver source can be found on github. Just earlier, I cloned the source and built it on my Leap test desktop, worked just fine. I can't say if it works when the actual device is present, my Intel Compute Stick is still on 13.2. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
