Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https:/
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.

carlix, in order to keep this relevant to upstream, could you please test the latest mainline kernel (4.7-rc4) and advise to the results?

carlix, as per https:/
So, there are two things that would need to happen here. One is for this staging driver to be considered for inclusion into Ubuntu. Second is for this driver to be considered for inclusion into linux-stable, where it would be pulled into Ubuntu as a matter of course.

carlix, could you please request upstream submit the rtl8723bs driver to linux-stable via the appropriate mailing list (TO: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Larry Finger, and Bastien Nocera CC driverdev-devel)? This will help get the ball rolling towards your hardware.

I'm now looking into merging this vendor driver into ubuntu's kernel.
I've also pushed the latest drivers we received from realtek to https:/

This driver has now been merged by upstream into the kernel staging tree in 4.12-rc1 kernel.

It will be quite hard to backport the driver to 4.4 though, huge amount of net & wireless changes happened between 4.4 to 4.12.

Let's just wait Linux kernel in Artful switch to 4.12.
Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #40 |
BTW it's already enabled in Ubuntu's unstable kernel branch.
Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #41 |
It's enabled since v4.12, so it will work out of the box on v4.13.
Backport to v4.4 is no easy task and I doubt anyone really need this on Xenial.
