I created that repo from the driver that Realtek sent me. My only changes were to ensure that it built on a number of kernel versions. As I have no idea who wrote the wikidevi.com article, I have no idea if they knew much about this chip. I am certain that the datasheet came from Realtek. If they do not mention Bluetooth Low Energy, then the chip probably does not support it. Larry
