Hi,
Thanks for the ongoing efforts around the upstream rtw88 driver and
for your help on the ASPM issue over the last few days! Having such
hardware support in mainline is of huge impact for individual users
and organisations like ours.
I am curious if there is a roadmap for RTL8723DU support in mainline
too? Over the last week, 2 of our partners have inquired about this.
It appears that this is a very attractive chipset for vendors and is
being deployed in a wide range of products.
I saw some community efforts for device support:
https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtw88-usb
but we are unable to use non-mainline drivers for these projects.
Thanks,
Daniel

We move most of our resource to develop rtw89, wifi 6 driver, so we don't
have plan to do this yet. But I can help to review the patches if you can
help to make patches from above github and test usb dongles.
