Using an HP 245 G6 laptop with AMD A9 APU and Realtek 8723de wireless running Ubuntu 19.04.

To resolve an issue with the laptop being unable to resume from suspend properly (AMDGPU crashing on resume) I've manually installed Linux kernel 5.3 (rc6 currently - I found some info on the issue I was having here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1704792).

However I can't install the driver for the Wi-Fi from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git on kernel 5.3 - any ideas on how to get this working in the newer kernel would be appreciated.

Specifically, during the rtlwifi install, after running:

sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6

I get:

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

I had the same problem in Ubuntu 19.10. I fixed it by doing apt update, apt upgrade and apt autoremove.

You must have an internet connection

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove

From here you can follow the steps from http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/04/nstall-rtl8723de-wifi-driver-ubuntu-19-04/, which would basically be:

In the folder where you have rtlwifi_new directory:

rm -rf rtlwifi_new && git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git

Now there is only the build:

sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new && sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6

  • That worked when I tested it again. Although I'm not sure exactly why, it might be because I'm using the newly released 5.3 kernel instead of the 5.3 rc6?

I have followed below steps to solve this issue with HP 15-bs1xx Laptop runs Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver) with '5.3.0-26-generic' version of Linux kernel.

Checkout and build rtl wifi code:

git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git

make && sudo make install

Add '/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.conf' configuration to load module on startup and dual antena support. Conf file content is below,

options rtl8723de ant_sel=2

Insert module with below command 

sudo modprobe rtl8723de

dkms add ./rtl8723de
dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414
