[Orange Pi prime] Armbian does not detect the wifi

[Brugui]

Hello,

 

I know that armbian for orangepi prime is under development.

Armbian does not detect the integrated wifi, and I'd like to know if it's not implemented yet or it's happening just to me

The RTL8723BS driver exist in Mainline 4.12, but it never been back-ported to previous kernel.

Since it is a bit a waste of time to do such backporting, it is better to wait that 4.12 become officially used in Armbian.

In the mean time, I've personally got success with a private build with 4.12.

The rtl8723BS driver can be found in a few repos if you're willing to build yourself, I had to add it to the Rockchip 4.4 kernel for the Tinker Board.
