Liberate WIFI/BLE module #53

Closed Kreyren closed 10 months ago

Kreyren commented 1 year ago

The mainboard revision C of teres a64 is using a proprietary rtlwifi/rt18723bs, this issue is created to work on a solution for it to be replaced with a libre alternative.

The module is already part of the linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/af95dc6fdc25e616051d0234aad638e15c02ec8f/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs
