(Get the code!)
I know this thread is now two years old but the problem with this hardware almost drove me nuts ...
I am here on a HP Pavilion Laptop with beatsaudio. No Model Number - nothing.
The Wifi card is: (in Germany!)
-------
lspci -nn | grep -iA2 net
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723]
-------
I am now under kernel:
4.4.0-21-generic
-------
Before I tried everything I could find to get my wifi up but I do not even see one spot. So no connection at all. I even cloned git and compiled the driver - which worked fine.
By the way the BT seems to be fine - although I have not checked cause I do not need BT.
-------
Here is what I tried:
rfkill list all; hciconfig -a

I added the options sugested in rtl8723be.conf
options rtl8723be fwlps=0 swlps=0
But this did not help either.

without errors.

In my disappointment I tried this:
From https:/
"There is a new version of this driver at GitHub. You will need to have the package with the kernel headers installed.
git clone http://
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
This version of the driver will be submitted for inclusion in kernel 3.18. I ran it for 39 hours with no disconnects."
-------
no errors but no change.
-------
Checked this link:
https:/
-------
Then I tried several params and finally this worked somehow.
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be
sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be msi=1
I now was able to see wifi networks - hoorayyyy!! :)
-------
I then tried to connect to my network - but failed.
I am sitting 1 m next to my router.

Then I changed region to Germany:
echo 'KERNEL=
and then I was able to connect. My options are now:
options rtl8723be fwlps=0 swlps=0 msi=1
Now it runs perfectly! Thanks to all!!
