no dkms support files

As-is, the package doesn't contain dkms support files. Here's a simple patch for dkms support, based on your 8723au WiFi driver code:

Great ! Will you try that asap. BTW I saw that the btusb module will soon integrate the patch needed for those realtek BT

@dlenski I can't find how to make my DKMS package copy the firmware , I've tried a POSTINSTALL directive without any luck , see here :

https://github.com/EkimiaSAS/rtl8723au_bt/blob/dkms/dkms.conf

Any idea ?

[dlenski]

Not sure if I understand... are you saying that when you include the line POST_INSTALL=touch /lib/firmware/coucou.fw, and then install, that file doesn't get created?

[freechelmi]

yes exactly. And I cannot put it in the makefile either.

there must be a proper way to execute some postinst script

[dlenski]

There seem to be a bunch of slightly-incompatible versions of dkms floating around in different distros. Have you checked the manpages for dkms or dkms.conf? According to this old version, POST_INSTALL must specify a script relative to the root of the source distribution, rather than an arbitrary shell command line.

POST_INSTALL= The name of the script to be run after an install is performed. The path should be given relative to the root directory of your source.

Great I will try that. About the name of the DKMS package , what do you think ? I was about to call it rtl8x-bt and use the version of realtek : 2.11 even if our version is derived from it @lwfinger : Maybe you have a better idea ?

FYI, there is a new 'kernel' branch that has code that will be in kernel 3.21. It handles the Realtek devices just like any other kernel device. Thus far, no changes for older kernels have been included. As problems are reported, I will fix them.
