Just replaced this kernel with TinkerOS v2.0.7's 4.4.103 but received the above error, any idea where to obtain the required firmware?

uname -a

Linux tinkerboard 4.15.0-rc9-Kernel-Maker-XV #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 22 19:59:37 CET 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Error -2 means File not found (ENOENT).

I might have forgotten to put the firmware file in /lib/firmware I guess. So, instead, you might want to get this file : https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin and put into /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ and then reload the driver or reboot.

Create the rtlwifi folder if not present.
