Public bug reported:
When using Linux Mint 18.3 alongside with the 4.13.0-32 kernel the wifi
signal is really really poor (while almost sitting on the respective
router) whereas with the 4.10.0-38 it works like charm.
I had to use a configuration file for getting the wifi to work properly
(/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf: options rtl8723be fwlps=0 ips=0
ant_sel=1) but chaning the antenna from 1 to 0 did not change anything
with the 4.13 kernel.
I am also running Manjaro Linux with the 4.14 kernel on my machine where
the wifi is also working just fine (with antenna 0 though).
cat /proc/version_signature:
Ubuntu 4.10.0-38.42~16.04.1-generic 4.10.17
(I tried using ubuntu-bug linux but it didn't work [The report belongs
to a package that is not installed.])
