** Description changed: + [SRU Justification] + + [Impact] + With the rtl8723bu Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo adapter, if the wifi is turned + off and then turned on again under the circumstance that a Bluetooth + device was paired previously, the system can't connect to a wireless + network until the system is rebooted. + + [Fix] + Commit e542e66b7c2e("rtl8xxxu: add bluetooth co-existence support for + single antenna"), which landed v5.5 and as its subject suggests, support + bluetooth co-existence for RTL8723BU and fixes WiFi disconnection + problem when Bluetooth is in action. + + Commit a9bb0b515778("rtl8xxxu: Improve TX performance of RTL8723BU on + rtl8xxxu driver") was added as a prerequisite to aforementioned fix. + + Commit 4fcef8609132("rtl8xxxu: remove set but not used variable + 'rate_mask'") and commit eac08515d7bd("rtl8xxxu: Remove set but not used + variable 'vif','dev','len'") are included as minor fixes to previous + commits. + + [Test Case] + 1. Turn on Wi-Fi and get associated with some AP. + 2. Pair some bluetooth device. + 3. Turn off Wi-Fi and turn again. + 4. Expect Wi-Fi reconnects to the previous associated AP. + + [Regression Potential] + Low. Both commits only affect RTL8723BU. + + ========== Original Bug Description ========== + With the rtl8723bu wireless adapter, if the wifi is turned off and then turned on again, the system can't connect to a wireless network until the system is rebooted. The issue is not upstream. With mainline kernel and in other distros, everything works fine.
