Comment 56 for bug 1666421

Sorry, Joseph, a bit more information please: Which proposed kernel version specifically? I thought this had been done before. Anyway: I activated the Xenial proposed repository, but I can't see any kernel newer than 4.4.0-72 -- is this the version supposed to fix this issue?
To be honest, after six weeks I would have hoped you have already fixed this issue. I mean, it isn't really expensive to buy a WiFi with RTL8188 chipset, right?

Can you answer the simple question: Why does it take so long to get something working again which did work in the past?

Please name the kernel version to install and test.
