Summary0000618: Unabel to modprobe on kmod-rtl8723be CentOS 7
DescriptionHi,

I installed kmod-rtl8723be-0.0-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64 on a CentOS 7 box. When I tried to modprobe the error I saw in /var/log/messages was:

[ 1672.927843] Request for unknown module key 'The ELRepo Project (http://elrepo.org): ELRepo.org Secure Boot Key: f365ad3481a7b20e3427b61b2a26635b83fe427b' err -11
[ 1672.928906] rtl8723be: disagrees about version of symbol rtl_hal_pwrseqcmdparsing
[ 1672.928926] rtl8723be: Unknown symbol rtl_hal_pwrseqcmdparsing (err -22)
TagsNo tags attached.
Reported upstream

OK, seems the kernel is exporting the rtl_hal_pwrseqcmdparsing separately and causing the conflict. I will work on a fix.

Thanks for the report.

I think I see the issue.

In the file /etc/depmod.d/kmod-rtl8723be.conf you probably have the following line:

override rtl8723be-common * weak-updates/rtl8723be

There is a typo in the above line and it should read:

override rtl8723-common * weak-updates/rtl8723be


i.e, "rtl8723-common" and not "rtl8723be-common"

Please could you try editing the above, and then reboot the system and see if the rtl8723be module will then load.

Thanks

Sorry for not updating sooner. When I was working on this the other day I did a modprobe and it magically worked (this was on a fresh install). I am not sure what I did differently. There were still errros in dmesg so I updated the config. I currently have:
[root@new-host-5 ~]# cat /etc/depmod.d/kmod-rtl8723be.conf
override btcoexist * weak-updates/rtl8723be
override rtl8723-common * weak-updates/rtl8723be
override rtl8723be * weak-updates/rtl8723be
override rtl8723be-common * weak-updates/rtl8723be
override rtl_pci * weak-updates/rtl8723be
override rtlwifi * weak-updates/rtl8723be

(I added instead of replacing) and in dmesg there are still errors:
[ 3.908873] Request for unknown module key 'The ELRepo Project (http://elrepo.org): ELRepo.org Secure Boot Key: f365ad3481a7b20e3427b61b2a26635b83fe427b' err -11

Thanks for the feedback.

Packages that fix this issue have been uploaded and are currently syncing to the mirrors.

kmod-rtl8723be-0.0-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
rtl8723be-kmod-0.0-3.el7.elrepo.src.rpm

You can ignore the errors in dmesg above, they relate to the missing Secure Boot public key which is not relevant as you are not using Secure Boot.

Marking this bug as fixed.
