Unfortunately, I have no programming knowledge. :( . But, saw a similar error which says some variables are not mentioned in the makefile?

[AvirahJ]

Please note that, make and sudo make install compiles fine.

[castellanos94]

Same problem, any idea to fix that ?

[jeremyb31]

I might have the fix on my fork https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8723de I made a small change to the dkms.conf file and it works https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8723de/commit/9eac941bfec813b4419e61df71f1f8e9fe2558f2

[castellanos94]

Thanks @jeremyb31 , thats works for me.

[smlinux]

Thanks jeremyb31, fixed.

[sergehijo]

Thanks @jeremyb31 !! Been waiting to install the driver correctly for almost six months, then some problems with the kernel versions lol a nightmare. Thanks again!

[jeremyb31]

I would use Larry Fingers rtlwifi_new extended branch in 4.15 https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/tree/extended

waiting for your kind help.

[jeremyb31]

I would suggest using Larry Fingers rtlwifi_new. To install see https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/8687eec6ea7f9dca9e71a24aab197f0e After rebooting if you notice low signal strength, try sudo modprobe -r rtl8723de && sleep 10 && sudo modprobe rtl8723de ant_sel=2

[nishantkohli94]

after installing the driver from above given link i am getting "wifi Network not ready".

As you can see in screenshot.

facing these kind of issues with new laptop is so annoying.

In terminal cd /lib/firmware/rtlwifi sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/rtlwifi/rtl8723defw.bin Reboot Those are 2 commands, the second starts with sudo and ends with bin
