I am using the LM817 usb ble/wi-fi combo dongle The target plaform is the yocto altera_soc

The 8723bu driver has been cross complied for the platform.

Output from dmesg

After loading 8723bu.ko and cfg80211.ko, the wifi devices appear.

Close. cfg80211.ko was not built properly. Interfaces can be scanned and discovered now.
