rtl8723 firmware

February 19, 2013 — BarryK
Pemasu posted about firmware needed for the wireless rtl8723, in the 3.8 kernel:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84298&start=90

OK, I have added the firmware files in Woof:
woof-code/kernel-skeleton/lib/modules/all-firmware/rtlwifi/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723fw_B.bin
woof-code/kernel-skeleton/lib/modules/all-firmware/rtlwifi/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723fw.bin

But, I am being lazy. Rerwin and I have been moving the firmware gradually out of Woof, to separate PETs -- these are named firmware_linux_module_<firmware name>-<date>.pet.
But, haven't done it for the 'rtlwifi' firmware yet.

Pemasu also advised that 'rtlwifi' entry in 'firmware.dep' needs to be updated. Woof commit: http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/info/0d1975807e Forum post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84298&start=90
