Realtek wireless cards are always getting users in trouble. But don't worry.  It is easy, man, just follow this article and you will be all good at the end.

a. First establish internet connection by other means, for example by ethernet cable.

b. Launch a terminal window.(Deepin Terminal)

c. Copy/paste the following command line into the terminal, in order to download and install the required build packages (the building tools with which you're going to build the driver):

sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Press Enter. Your password will remain entirely invisible, not even dots will show, this is normal.

d. Download the actual driver (the construction kit) by means of git, with this command (use copy/paste):

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git

Is the driver no longer available on github.com? Then get the driver from here (the driver as it was on June 19, 2016). Then unpack the zipped file in your home folder, because it's a compressed folder. Don't unpack it in the subfolder Downloads, because then the ensuing terminal commands won't work!

e. Now you're going to compile the required kernel module from the driver package. Copy/paste this line into the terminal, in order to enter the folder with the driver packages:

cd rtlwifi_new

And then run this command:

make

f. Finally, install the compiled module with this command:

sudo make install

g. Reboot your computer.

h. Your wifi should work (better?) now: click on the icon of Network Manager in the system tray, in order to see the available wireless networks.

After reboot, please try following commands:

sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be

sudo modprobe rtl8723be

It's a wild guess, but you can try the following:

Add the following to '/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf'
  1. [device]
  2. wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
Copy the Code

Then restart the Networkanager
  1. sudo service network-manager restart
Copy the Code
