I don't think we have it. I think it has Realtek firmware and the firmware sources probably are not open source. Drivers should be available tho.
@DanKoloff There seems to be sources for the driver, but i wasn't able to figure out if it's open-source or not e.g. https://github.com/anthonywong/rtl8723bs it also claims that Since Linux 4.12, rtl8723bs has been merged. Therefore, this repo is now obsolete.
but i don't see it anywhere in the linux kernel beyond the firmware mentioned below?
Additionally it's in linux-firmware so at very least i would at least provide a text file pointing out where to find it.
Actually it seems to be there in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/cbf3a2cb156a2c911d8f38d8247814b4c07f49a2/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs and under GPLv2.. i try to mess with it..
oh i seem to already have this running on my experimental NixOS build without noticing so yes it seems that the driver if open-source and mainlined
The current design is dependent on that file to get the WiFi and BLE to work
