I know you are new to Linux, but you need to improve your skills in reporting problems. If someone gave you those symptoms for a problem with Windows, how much help could you give?

First of all, which driver are you using? If one from this repo, which branch? Did you download the source in a zip file, or did you use git, which is much preferred?

It appears you have an RTL8723DE. Why did you post on the RTL8723BU repo? Those last two letters indicate the series and the interface. E means PCI and U means USB.

Do the following:

cd ~ git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git -b extended cd rtlwifi_new make && sudo make install

After you reboot, your wifi should work. If you have further issues, you should post them in the rtlwifi_new section.

it told me to install libelf-dev how do i do this sudo apt-get does not work

[faheemq]

thanks

[faheemq]

i think i fixed it

[lwfinger]

Good as I would have told you that you need to contact your distro to find that info. I do not do any that use "apt-get".
