Tested with Linux Kernel versions (6.8 to 6.12) and it's working.

Installation instruction

Requirements

You will need to install "make", "clang", "kernel headers", "kernel build essentials", and "git".

For Ubuntu: You can install them with the following command

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make clang linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git

For Fedora: You can install them with the following command

sudo dnf install kernel-headers kernel-devel
sudo dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries"

For openSUSE: Install necessary headers with

sudo zypper install make clang kernel-devel kernel-default-devel git libopenssl-devel

For OpenMandriva: You can install them with the following command

sudo dnf install kernel-headers kernel-desktop-devel cmake glibc-devel lib64cppdap lib64crypt-devel lib64elfutils-devel lib64lzma-devel lib64ncurses-devel lib64rhash0 lib64z-devel lib64zstd-devel libc6 make

If any of the packages above are not found check if your distro installs them like that.

Installation

For all distros:

git clone git://github.com/IAMLEGENDZ/rtl8723du-clang.git
cd rtl8723du-clang
make CC=clang LD=ld.lld
sudo make install

How to unload/reload a Kernel module

sudo modprobe -rv 8723du         #This unloads the module
sudo modprobe -v 8723du          #This loads the module

When your kernel changes, then you need to do the following:

cd ~/rtl8723du-clang
git pull
make clean
make CC=clang LD=ld.lld
sudo make install

Remember, this MUST be done whenever you get a new kernel - no exceptions.

Installation with module signing for SecureBoot

For all distros:

git clone git://github.com/IAMLEGENDZ/rtl8723du-clang.git
cd rtl8723du-clang
make CC=clang LD=ld.lld
sudo make sign-install

You will be promted a password, please keep it in mind and use it in next steps. Reboot to activate the new installed module. In the MOK managerment screen:

Select "Enroll key" and enroll the key created by above sign-install step
When promted, enter the password you entered when create sign key.
If you enter wrong password, your computer won't not bebootable. In this case, use the BOOT menu from your BIOS, to boot into your OS then do below steps:

sudo mokutil --reset

Restart your computer Use BOOT menu from BIOS to boot into your OS In the MOK managerment screen, select reset MOK list Reboot then retry from the step make sign-install
