Re: rtl8723be on Fedora27

["Rákosi Gergely" <rakosi.gergely@gmail.com>]

Hello Larry,

First of all, thanks your help.
Lets see...here is the kernel version: 4.13.12-300
The machine is an Asus ROG 553VE

The firmware which loading in the dmesg is : rtlwifi/rtl8723befw_36.bin
The output of md5sum is : 1850c1308fbcd95e9f6a7f58ede1e35f

Thanks again,
Best Regards,
Gergely
