Hi Trevor,

I was trying to enable the WiFi on tinker-board which is RTL8723BS
chipset. Although the driver for the chip is in the mainline
kernel(staging). Its isn't enabled in the defconfig which appears to
be multi_v7_defconfig for rk3288.
So I tried adding it via kernel config fragment as.
rtl8723bs-wlan.cfg:
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y
CONFIG_RTL8723BS=m

I tried adding this fragment to linux-mutual.inc as
SRC_URI_append-tinker-board = "file://rtl8723bs-wlan.cfg"

However it didn't apply the kernel config fragment. I suspect its
because of the following lines in linux-mutual.inc.
KCONF_BSP_AUDIT_LEVEL = "0"
deltask kernel_configme

removing those lines causes a build failure. Are those lines causing
the fragment to not apply. How to resolve this issue ?

I could do a patch on defconfig but that may not work for the long
term as def configs change.
Other option is to provide a config file with wireless enabled for
tiner-board but don't want to go there until I know why fragments
can't be applied.
