I have Fedora 22
Output of lspci | grep Network:
08:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
Output of uname -r : 4.2.3-200.fc22.x86_64
I cant see any wifi networks. PLS HELP
I don't have the same chip as you but I found on internet here and there that your chip can go into sleep state when it is not suppose to.
When you don't have wifi, you can try this:
sudo rmmod rtl8723be && modprobe rtl8723b
But the problem will occur quickly later... A workaround is to disable the sleep feature of the driver:
echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
I did rmmod and modprobe. Still all the networks are not shown. Only the networks which have high strength are showing. In Windows, I can see all the networks.
So at least there seems to be an improvement, you can now see some networks. A french guy explains here that the wifi still disconnects randomly for a few seconds... He solved the issus by compiling and installing another module from this repository.
Sorry, I can't help you more on this matter.
I suggest tearing open the case (carefully) ;) and installing an Intel wi-fi card. It's quite easy and you'll be happy with the results. That's how I solved my realtek wi-fi problems in my Toshiba.
