Bug Description

I have an all-in-one HP pc with rtl8723be wireless wifi card.
I'm trying to enable wowlan capability on the card, but I can't.

This is my system:

supervisore@Aula16:~$

Reading on the Realtek site https://www.realtek.com/en/products/communications-network-ics/item/rtl8723be I see that the wifi card has the wowlan capability, but when I try to enable it I receive

supervisore@Aula16:~$ sudo iw phy0 wowlan enable magic-packet
command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

I really need to enable the wowlan feature on the card, how?
