fedora 20

[exiledATLien]

i have been unable to install this driver on any of four versions of fedora i have tried it on now, each were fresh install and each had been updated. in every case, this is/was the error i have received:

make
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/build M=/home/egriffin/Desktop/rtl8723au/rtl8723au-master modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

this is not the best part of owning a lenovo yoga.. and probably not the worst. Hopefully this is some stupid mistake on my part but googl seems to indicate that other people have struggled with this... possibly without success.

In any case, I have used your product many other time, so i thank you.

Cheers

My guess is that you miss any dependency make gcc kernel-header kernel-devel patch

I'm running the master branch since Fedora 18 more or less with out problems.

You do not have the kernel headers installed, which is what you will get with the packages mentioned above. Those headers are necessary to build any out-of-kernel driver. This driver is not alone in that respect.

Hi - I was able to follow the instructions (make, sudo make install, sudo modprobe 8723au) without any errors on my laptop (Yoga 13, CentOS 7). However, wireless adapter still does not work.

$lsmod | grep 8723au
Module Size Used by
8723au 940237 0

In Network Manager Setting, the adapter is shown as "USB Unknown. Unmanaged."

Any recommendation on how I should approach this issue? Thanks.

What kernel? Any info in the output of dmesg?

Kernel = 3.10.0.-229.el7.x86_64

dmesg shows the following potentially relevant messages:

I hope that helps narrow the issue down a bit. Thank you for looking into this!!!!

For some reason, your user space components never tried to make a connection. As I know nothing of CentOS, I have no suggestions. As for the driver for the RTL8723AU, everything looks OK

Thank you for your time spent on this. Given the driver looks okay, may be I should look into "Network Manager" on CentOS as the next step.

I have been very pleased with NM on my openSUSE systems.
