How to install Realtek Semiconductor Device driver?

I couldn't find the appropriate device driver for my wireless device, when I checked my device details with lshw -class network I can't find the device name or any wireless info.

Re: How to install Realtek Semiconductor Device driver?

That doesn't really help much, which device is it supposed to be exactly?  What's the output of lspci instead? if that isn't conclusive go through the manuals of your mainboard manufacturer and find out the exact chip, just from that output there's no telling what you have to do.

That at least gives a googleable string, give https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtlw … ended-dkms a shot.

This is the rtl8723de adapter. If the above recommended driver does not work for you try these drivers instead "rtl8723de-dkms"in the AUR. Make sure you also have the linux headers package installed.
