Hello!
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth do not work on Linux. The problem persists on different Linux distributions and kernel versions. Wireless technologies are active on Windows 10, but my work requires Linux most of the time, so I have to use an external Wi-Fi adapter. I investigated the issue and found out that my Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module is Realtek RTL8723DE, and the kernel fails to find a support module for it. It seems to me that the manufacturer has not released a driver for Linux yet.
Is that so? Could tou please provide me information on driver availability, and, if not available yet, estimated release dates? Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Ilya Bizyaev.
