I realised I hadn't checked I was using up to date firmware
here's the
firmware I have been using for the realtek card
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30808 Oct 4 21:19
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin
the version in the hadess github repo for the driver:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32108 Feb 29 21:29
/usr/src/rtl8723bs/rtl8723bs_nic.bin
so I renamed all my old firmwares with a date stamp and copied over the new
ones, you can see
most have changed
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20886 Mar 30 11:07 rtl8723bs_ap_wowlan.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15466 Oct 4 21:19 rtl8723bs_ap_wowlan.bin.20151004
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9120 Mar 30 11:07 rtl8723bs_bt.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9120 Oct 4 21:19 rtl8723bs_bt.bin.20151004
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32108 Mar 30 11:07 rtl8723bs_nic.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30808 Oct 4 21:19 rtl8723bs_nic.bin.20151004
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26398 Mar 30 11:07 rtl8723bs_wowlan.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27724 Oct 4 21:19 rtl8723bs_wowlan.bin.20151004
I find it odd that the firmware isn't in the main kernel/linux-firmware
github (
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git )
