There is a new customized Ubuntu 16.10 distro made to supposedly run better (more updated drivers) on Bay-Trail and Cherry-Trail devices. This *might* work better on Chuwi and other tablets (I’m hoping) during a Live-USB bootup. It’s uses the latest 4.8 kernel and I’m hoping the latest Realtek WiFi drivers: Ubuntu 16.10 Beta 2 for Intel Baytrail and Cherrytrail Devices

Yeah this iso are working good as liveUSB, Wi-Fi, Blutooth, everything is working but when you install this version of ubuntu on a hard drive nothing is working 🙁 I can’t undestand why…

OK here it is. I just compiled it on Kernel 4.4 download this zip file and extract it. Since you don’t have internet you’ll need to use your phone or other computer. It’s around 15MB size. [EDIT:] I think the spam filter is not permitting me to post with the link to the file download. Will try including it in the next post below. Install commands I pulled directly from the driver source Makefile. Open Terminal window, CD to directory where you extracted the files, then run…

sudo install -p -m 644 r8723bs.ko  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
sudo cp -n rtl8723bs_nic.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin
sudo cp -n rtl8723bs_wowlan.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_wowlan.bin
sudo /sbin/depmod -a $(uname -r)
sudo reboot

OK, thx!! I will try now.

I don’t know if this will work if you are just booted up using Live-USB disk unless you have managed to create a “persistent” data Live-USB disk. Withou persistence data/files is not saved between reboots on our USB drive, so you might need to actually install LinuxMint onto your HD/EMMC partition. But anyway you can try it. If it doesn’t work maybe you can figure out how to create a persistent Live-USB. I do not know how to do that.

Sorry, I forgot that. I’m guessing you don’t have wired Ethernet or USB wifi connection either? Let me reboot into kernel 4.4 and I can build the driver for you to download. FYI, another way I just thought is to install Oracle VirtualBox on Windows and then install LinuxMint 18 inside VirtualBox. Then you will have internet access from that Virtual Machine and will be able to run all Linux commands with internet access – and can build drivers. Yeah it’s a PITA (pain in the ass) but if you have no other way it should work, in theory… I have used VirtualBox many times just never tried building any modules/drivers using it.

It would be great!thx!!!

It depends what driver. Do you have the Realtek rtl8723bs wifi device?

yeah rtl8723bs

It’s very easy to explain *if* the driver code is available (eg. on Github) but we need to know which WiFi device are you talking about, which is in your tablet? If you can boot Linux (Ubuntu or LinuxMint) from a Live-USB drive then I can tell you what commands to run in a Terminal window (commmand line). Which tablet do you have, Hi12?.. Are you able to boot Linux from a Live-USB? If so, run this from a terminal: inxi -Fxz To get exhaustive network information run this (single line) script in the Terminal window: wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && ./wireless-info the resulting file ‘wireless-info‘ has all the details.

Okay, so I have Installed live distro of Gnome ubuntu 16.04 on a bootable usb drive, I have managed to boot into linux using nomodeset parameter on the boot config,  then I have downloaded “patch/driver” for the wifi card, there are patch for kernel but I don’t understand how apply it. Tablet is Chuwi hi 10, distro don’t have inxi.
