And now the wireless is working almost 20 hours long, from yesterday
afternoon. I dont know why. Lets check some happening:
- Yesterday I disconnect the charger from laptop, and lay down at the
other room
- I left the laptop more than a hour without interaction, so the system
is going to sleep
- When I push the keyboard the system load up, and everything is working
fine
- The battery almost depleted when I going back to the original room,
and connect the charger

Then nothing changed, and I have a working rtl8723be wifi module. Why ?

Thanks,
Gergely
