I'll ping upstream and the author of the patch that was reverted. However, before doing so, we should test the latest mainline kernel to see if the bug is already fixed upstream.
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.19 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

Using actual 4.15.0-33.36 amd64 instead, rtl8723be doesn't find any wifi networks and thus there is no connection. Changing the antenna setup in /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be_options.conf doesn't help either; as a workaround an external wifi device (Gigaset USB Adapter 108) works. The expectation is that wifi through rtl8723be will still work under 4.15.0-33.36 as it did previously. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: al 1234 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: al 1234 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-27 (89 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Notebook Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 radeondrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-33-generic root=UUID=32ea87b7-f595-4137-a54b-55838586f720 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-33.36-generic 4.15.18 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.15.0-33-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.15.0-33-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.173.1 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-33-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 04/01/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.02 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 8137 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 99.02 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Chassis Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.02:bd04/01/2015:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPNotebook:pvrType1ProductConfigId:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn8137:rvr99.02:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.family: 103C_5335KV G=N L=CON B=HP dmi.product.name: HP Notebook dmi.product.version: Type1ProductConfigId dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1788997/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
