Recently I've managed to install arch linux on the device using archiso (only 1 usb port so internet wasn't an option), the problem is that I cannot connect to the wifi;
lspci
,
lsusb
,
ip link
and
iwconfig
do not show any network adapters available, using windows 10 (that i kept on other partition) I found out that the network adapter is "realtek rtl8723bs wireless lan 802.11n SDIO Network Adapter". My kernel version is arch 4.15, it would be great if anyone knew about such issue.

Is the module loaded?

How would I check whether the module I need is loaded? (lsmod right?)
- So i checked the loaded modules and r8723bs seems to be on the list (in the "Used by" tag in lsmod however the number is 0 by the module)

rfkill list
,
NetworkManager
dont output anything.
dmesg | grep rtl

Check kernel messages for firmware being loaded:
$ dmesg | grep firmware
Offline
dmesg | grep r8723bs
[ 1.790266] r8723bs: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
dmesg | grep firmware
[ 1.786584] platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code
You'll need to determine why the loading is failing...

I couldn't really find anything about why it fails to load, but when I tried to upgrade my system it came up with an error "Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.8-1-ARCH (x86_64)" after the command
dkms install rtl8723de/1 -k 4.15.8-1-Arch
and it outputted information about it to "/var/lib/dkms/rtl8723de/1/build/make.log" it says that some warnings are being treated as errors and those warnings are:
/var/lib/dkms/rtl8723de/1/build/include/osdep_service_linux.h:287:2: error: _timer {aka struct timer_list} has no member named data
ptimer->data = (unsigned long)cntx;
and
/var/lib/dkms/rtl8723de/1/build/include/osdep_service_linux.h:288:2: error: implicit declaration of function init_times; did you mean "_init_timer"?
init_timer(ptimer);
Should I try editing it so that the compiler is satisfied or maybe changing the compiler flags to ignore the errors?

What owns rtl8273de?
Offline
root is the owner of rtl8723de folder inside /var/lib/dkms
Offline
What, not who. What package owns that file?
Offline
pacman -Qo osdep_service_linux.h
"No package owns osdep_service_linux.h"
pacman -Qo dkms
"/usr/lib/dkms is owned by dkms 2.5-1"
it says that the rtl87... is not owned by any package and dkms is the closest one to be owned by a package

Please paste the output of `pacman -Qm`.

from inside /var/lib/dkms/rtl8723de/1/build/include folder
pacman -Qm
package-query 1.9-2
pamac-aur 6.2.4-1
rtl8723de-dkms 1-1
yaourt 1.9-1
Offline
pacman -Qm ... rtl8723de-dkms 1-1 ...
Why is this there?
Moving to NC...

I decided to simply reinstall arch it should fix the problem

1. That is not how it works.
2. The fact that you have installed some random AUR package is not something you hide until post #15
Remove the package, reboot and step through the wiki page.

Well so I did a completely clean install of arch, couldn't get the module to loadin any way (yes i followed the wiki), I think it's better to just stick on the working windows on other partition, I'll be sure to post any possible fix that I may find in some spare time (I'll just keep arch on spare partition)
