Comment 35 for bug 1382404

Yes it has been tested on 3.18 and it's still not working

but I'm not surprised as the realtek support has not been pushed in mainline kernel and I doubt that Ubuntu kernel devs would patch that sort of thing.

What would be the right procedure then ? Push the fix to upstream ? We have everything ready on the github mentionned above.

For now I've created an alpha state DKMS from this github :

https://github.com/EkimiaSAS/rtl8723au_bt/tree/dkms

Which results in a dkms deb but which does not include the firmware.

http://support.ekimia.fr/drivers/Bluetooth/rtl8x/

Also this DKMS overwrite the current btusb which quite dangerous ....

Does the ubuntu project distribute dkms drivers even when they are opensource ?

For now it's the right thing to do it seems.
