Bug Description
When using Linux Mint 18.3 alongside with the 4.13.0-32 kernel the wifi signal is really really poor (while almost sitting on the respective router) whereas with the 4.10.0-38 it works like charm.
I had to use a configuration file for getting the wifi to work properly (/etc/modprobe.
I am also running Manjaro Linux with the 4.14 kernel on my machine where the wifi is also working just fine (with antenna 0 though).
cat /proc/version_
Ubuntu 4.10.0-
(I tried using ubuntu-bug linux but it didn't work [The report belongs to a package that is not installed.])
