Hello, I'm trying to use rtl8723be wifi on Fedora27 but I still get continuosly disconnection. The error in the dmesg is "Init MAC failed" I tried with the following module options too : "fwlps=0 swlps=0" and the variant of "ant_sel=1 or 2 or 0" I downloaded the git files from your repo, and do the usual make,make install, and modprobe stuffs, and then restart the notebook, but I get the same result.
I know from the E-mail you sent to me privately that you are new to this process, thus I am going to give you some pointers. It is important for you to give your kernel version. Yes, for devoted Fedora users, saying that you are using F27 might be sufficient; however, I am not one of them. You should always supply the output of the command 'uname -r'.
On the RTL8723BE, "Init MAC failed" is not the dmesg that is expected from either the HP ant_sel problem, or a power-save problem. Incidentally, although there are many "fixes" that require modifying the XXps options, the underlying cause of that issue was fixed almost one year ago.
The main software component that might be wrong is the firmware. Please find the name of the firmware file that is being loaded from the dmesg output. It will be rtlwifi/... Once you locate that name, run the command
md5sum /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/xxx Substitute the actual name for the xxx. Post the output of the md5sum. Larry
