--- Comment #1 from Werner Lehmann <lehmannwer@gmail.com> ---
This Realtek8723BS also comes with the Intel Atom Baytrail Z3735F Processor,
which has been used for some cheap Notebooks in the past. I have got one of
those. The problem with the Intel Atom Baytrail devices is that they are 64-bit
machines with 32-bit UEFI firmware.
FreeBSD does not boot (yet) on machines like that, but work is being done on
this (I have been involved in some Testing and it works fine!) and will
probably be available for 15.0-RELEASE. That being said, in the future with the
possibility to install FreeBSD on Intel Atom Baytrail devices, support for the
Realtek RTL8723BS chip would be of major interest.
I therefore suggest to raise the importance of this request to more to just one
person.
I personally do not care much about Bluetooth support, but support for wireless
would be great.
