The rtl8723de driver is in the extended branch of lwfinger's GitHub repo. The driver will make its way into the Linux kernel supplied with Ubuntu eventually, but if you need the driver now, you can build and install it yourself.



Step 1 is to compile the WiFi drivers in lwfinger's repo. Feel free to modify the number appended to the -j flag on make to change the number of parallel build jobs to suit the system, for instance, if memory is low.



$ git clone --branch extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git >/dev/null 2>&1
$ cd rtlwifi_new && make -j8


Step 2 is to install the driver and reboot. After the restart, the driver should load automatically, but if it doesn't, it can be manually loaded with modprobe.



$ sudo make install
$ sudo reboot
[ system reboots ]
$ lsmod |grep --quiet rtl8723de || sudo modprobe rtl8723de

    Hey, please don't let the fear that there might possibly be a reasonable dupe target out there somewhere deter you from answering questions :) Aside from that, I don't think my toaster can cope with more than 6 threads, so you might want to mention what -j<n> in make actually does. Also, I recommend not compiling stuff as root - just copy it over afterwards with sudo... Do you have this device to test? I am wishing I could upvote but I can't test it myself :(

  • Thanks. I don't have the OP's device either, so all I can confirm is that the kernel module loads properly. I've used the rtl8821ae driver from this repo before, so the drivers are probably fine.
