Package: firmware-realtek Version: 20190502-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hello. I cannot get wifi networks or connection on kernels over 4.9.0.6. Up to this kernel the connection works perfect. I just have to add the "options ant_sel=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf. I am using the one in the Sid repository but I have the same results with the ones in the stable and testing repos. The real module involved in the problem must be /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/rtl8723be.ko Even though it is working on this kernel, I cannot upgrade to any other because it will not work. The modinfo of the driver is as follow: sudo modinfo rtl8723be filename: /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/rtl8723be.ko firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8723befw.bin description: Realtek 8723BE 802.11n PCI wireless license: GPL author: Realtek WlanFAE <[email protected]> author: PageHe <[email protected]> alias: pci:v000010ECd0000B723sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: rtlwifi,rtl8723-common,rtl_pci,btcoexist,mac80211 retpoline: Y intree: Y vermagic: 4.9.0-6-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions parm: swenc:Set to 1 for software crypto (default 0) (bool) parm: ips:Set to 0 to not use link power save (default 1) (bool) parm: swlps:Set to 1 to use SW control power save (default 0) (bool) parm: fwlps:Set to 1 to use FW control power save (default 1) (bool) parm: msi:Set to 1 to use MSI interrupts mode (default 0) (bool) parm: debug:Set debug level (0-5) (default 0) (int) parm: disable_watchdog:Set to 1 to disable the watchdog (default 0) (bool) parm: ant_sel:Set to 1 or 2 to force antenna number (default 0) (int) --- System information. --- Architecture: Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 Debian Release: 9.9 500 stable-updates debian.redlibre.cl 500 stable security.debian.org 500 stable repo.vivaldi.com 500 stable dl.google.com 500 stable debian.redlibre.cl 500 stable deb.opera.com 500 proposed-updates debian.redlibre.cl 100 stretch-backports debian.redlibre.cl --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty.
