Hi! I am in the begin of extending rtwn(4) to RTL8723BE. How hard it would be if there is only one letter changed in chip name if AE is already supported. :)
My progress so far has been detecting the chip, reading the rom table and loading the firmware. Any use of the interface causes log message of RF not powered, which is understandable and I will dig into it after the rom part works. I have few questions Does the rtwn firmware package ship already RTL8723BE firmware? I have rtwn-rtl8723befw_36 directory in /etc/firmware. Just asking to make sure I load right firmware as there are no easily findable changelogs for firmware packages. As there was some preliminary work done to RTL8723BE, has someone gathered info already? Or is the boot linux compile more debugging to driver and figure out what is happening the only slow way? Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho
