Comment 24 for bug 1788997

A new kernel update 4.15.0.34 has been provided recently. This kernel doesn't work with / support rtl8723be either. It seems the fix has not been committed so far.

18.4.1 typically keeps two kernels, unless you modify /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal, so to keep more kernels. Hence users that installed the latest kernel update will have not more kernel installed that supports rtl8723be !!

The changes, that were applied in 4.15.0.33, have completely broken all system with rtl8223be meanwhile, unless you've made changes to the system how it handles kernel updates.

So I think there is evidence to provide a kernel update including the fixes to support rtl8723be immediately.
