PINE A64-LTS v2 - Can't get WiFi to work
#2
Not quite sure how to interpret all of this yet but there might be something relevant in my /var/log/syslog here.  I'm looking at the "direct firmware load for rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin error".  I'm wondering if that's actually correct for my Wifi module for the PINE64 A64-LTS V2.

Code:

Is the driver for the RealTek chipset on the Wifi module not actually correct? I had "assumed" that this Armbian distro for "pine64so" would contain the correct driver for the very module that the PINE64 store sells but is that assumption incorrect?

Again I'm using Armbian_22.11.1_Pine64so_jammy_current_5.15.80.img.xz for my PINE A64-LTS V2. Is anyone using a different distro with more success? Am I the only one who's purchased this SBC so far and wants to use it with WiFi? (That would seem really strange to me.)
