Subject: Wifi RTL8723bu driver test: failed to scan
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2017 10:51:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171122105116.57c3c000@dell-desktop.home> (raw)
Hello Jes Sorensen,
I am currently testing a LM811 Wifi/BT USB dongle [1] on a Sinlinx
SinA33 Allwinner SoC board [2]. I saw that I should use the realtek
driver RTL8723BU for this USB dongle.
Currently, I am only testing the Wifi and the mainline driver (kernel
4.14-rc7) does not seem to work. At least, the scanning does not output
anything.
I tested the driver recommended by LM Technologies [3] and it works
fine (scan, connect and ping are ok). Before investigating on the
differences between these two drivers, do you have any idea about this
issue?
Here are the commands and output I got with mainline's driver:
# lsusb
