# rtl8723ds
Linux driver for RTL8723DS. This repo is derived from Realtek Version
v5.1.1.5_20523_20161209_BTCOEX20161208-1212. It has been modified to
build cleanly for kernels through v5.9.
Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
```
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723ds.git
cd rtl8723ds
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723ds
```
## b. Non Concurrent Mode
If you do not want two devices (station and an access point) separately, then follow these instructions.
Step - 1: Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
```
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723ds.git
cd rtl8723ds
nano Makefile
```
Step - 2: Find the line that contains `EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE` and insert a `#` symbol at the beginning of that line.
This comments that line and disables concurrent mode.
Step - 3: Now, run the following commands in the same Linux terminal.
```
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723ds
