RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

Trying to install ANTERGOS on a tablet with RTL8723BS wifi card. Unfortunately WIFI doesn’t work properly. Can’t switch it on. It appears everywhere with no errors, except when I try to switch it on. I run above command as a root.

Any ideas how to fix problem?

Try enable NetworkManager:

systemctl enable NetworkManager.service and reboot

You may also need to install package 8723bs-git-dkms using pamac-manager.

You can also do it by console if you wish

yaourt -S 8723bs-git-dkms
