[yocto] [meta-chip] Wifi driver on CHIP boards?

[Drew Moseley]

Has anyone managed to use the onboard WIFI for the CHIP boards in the
current meta-chip repo?  I added the kernel-module-r8723bs and rtl8723bs
packages to my build and setup a wpa_supplicant.conf that works on other
boards but I get error messages about power save. A few google searches
suggested some power save changes but nothing I tried worked.
