I have a Pine64+ single board computer, with the wifi/bt POT accessory.
Have successfully installed Debian 11 ( Bullseye ) and have that running, but cannot for the life of me seem to get the wifi/bt module enabled.
I have installed the firmware-realtek package, which should have the right firmware bits, but something else appears to be missing, and I'm at a loss.
The Realtek FW .bin files are in /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi for the rtl8723bs.
Modprobe doesn't appear to do anything.
Is it an issue with Debian / Bullseye? Would Bookworm be different, or Armbian? Not stuck with this version, but it's the first one I was able to get to boot properly, with everything else working.
