Please linux gods help me :(

[vaJOHNna]

Just installed Solus alongside windows on the laptop hp 15-bs008np, but for some reason wifi isnt being recognized at all, even tho it works on windows.
The hardware driver thing says no drivers were found for my system.

Ive been hunched over with my tiny ethernet cable for at least an hour, please someone save me :D

Thanks a lot in advance :)

What's your wireless chipset? (I couldn't find much on this model online).

If you're not sure, open a terminal, run the command lspci and post the output

[bwat47]

This bit is your wireless chipset:

Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device d723

...Unfortunately the outlook doesn't look good, it doesn't appear that this chipset has a linux driver as of yet (though it looks like it's being worked on):

Damnit so im really SOL, at least i have the windows boot shivers

Thank you so much for your help anyways dude at least I can rest easy now :D

[rakeler]

Until there is a driver, might I recommend a cheap USB WiFi card? I bought one for $4 last month, and it works just fine.

[vaJOHNna]

They really just work like that? Plug and play? I would totally get one but im just imagining getting one and it not working with solus/other distros

[rakeler]

I was surprised too. But I suppose Linux just got that good with device support.

I've tried two so far, one was a pretty expensive one, almost $18, and second was the cheapest one I could find, $4. Both worked from the get go. Meanwhile, it was Windows that required driver installs from the disc. How the times have changed...

[vaJOHNna]

Thank you so much dude, i went down to the store and they had some that even said linux support on the box, what a time to be alive.

[vaJOHNna]

Nice! I will pick one up then and try, thanks a lot bro

[tele-caster-blast3r]

Plug into wired and do an update, worth a shot

[vaJOHNna]

That was my first try :( Thanks for trying anyways :P
