Hi all. OS is 5.7.8-200.fc32.aarch64 Fedora Server running headless on Pine64
sbc. The system works well. Currently eth0 is the main network device, but I
have another use for this cable and wish to implement the wifi. This is
proving problematic as it seems to use the rtl8723bs module. Despite a lot of
googling there is no sign of wlan0.
Here I load the realtek module.
r8723bs: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you
have been warned.

If I go to /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi - these files are present.

I am not sure how to use these. I was hoping that modprobe would activate the
device and wlan0 would appear. But this is not the case. Any ideas?
