Comment 92 for bug 1788997

Suffering from weak rtl8723be wifi signal and new to proposed updates.

What I have done:

1. Make sure there are no more updates from non-propopsed sources (main, universe).
2. Enable proposed updates in GUI (this updates package list automatically).
3. back to command-line (just to feel safe): $ sudo apt-get update
4. $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic/bionic-proposed
5. $ sudo reboot

Weak signal! :-(

$ uname -a

$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image

With ant_sel=2 I do get strong signal, though. But as that requires manual intervention ...

I cannot confirm this bug being solved with kernel in proposed updates.
