[SOLVED] problem with wifi driver

[Fontman]

I cleaned up some files and tried the following sequence, from information from this thread and elsewhere, and this worked.

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r rtw88_8723de
echo "blacklist rtw88_8723de" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtw88_8723de.conf
git clone https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de.git -b current
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723de
sudo dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414
sudo depmod -a
sudo reboot

I'm not sure why people are having such issues with the kernel driver, is it specific to certain HP models?

Is it likely that a driver fix might be issued that would conflict with this?
