Hi tech@,
Driver/help request: RTL8723AS-VAU either in urtwn or new driver.
Found on: Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13

Pretty wild card, seeing as it has a PROPRIETARY USB CONNECTOR on the
motherboard itself. It is detachable, but highly unlikely it'll plug
into anything; its a weird rectangular connector. Hence, highly likely
that only someone with this laptop can help.
Also, someone can help by checking out chipset differences from classic
urtwn and those used by Larry Finger's beta Linux driver for this card @
http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au (doing this ATM)
Yet someone else suggested adding the product ID to dev/usb/usbdevs and
if_urtwn.c and changing loadfirmware to the strange and undocumented
urtwn-rtl8723fw. Not much luck here, got - urtwn0: timeout waiting for
firmware readiness
I'm not a driver expert but can anyone tell if this card could be added
to urtwn? Or would a whole new driver need to be implemented (due to the
chipset)?
Thanks!
Jean
