rtl8723be issue

Hi, i know that this problem is common, i found some solution in the wiki and in the forum, but my problem is that i don't see the file rtl8723be.config in the path: /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf

so i can't add options about the antenna number (that seems to be the best solution arount) or the wiki solution adding "options rtl8723ae fwlps=0".

Re: rtl8723be issue

You have to create the file.

Re: rtl8723be issue

How did you install Arch?

Re: rtl8723be issue

i've installed it via terminal, and for wifi i've installed: wireless_tool, dialog, wpa_supplicant. I've alredy configure some other options (video driver, touchpad...) with the .conf file, but they were well explained in the wiki of arch, now i've tried this guide to update rtl8723be driver (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=208472) but my problem is still the creation of the .conf file to select wich antenna must run. Looking to the other .conf file i can't just write the option in it.

Sorry i'm new, i'm coming from ubuntu and the wiki of arch is fantastic and the entire arch os is cool, but here there is a problem with all linux (ubuntu too), the connection drop every 30 minuts and it is impossible to use!

Thanks for answers!!

Re: rtl8723be issue

echo 'options rtl8723ae fwlps=0' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf

Why do you believe "i can't just write the option in it"??

Re: rtl8723be issue

because other conf files were something like this:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
   Option      "TearFree"    "true"
EndSection

but here there is no "Section", "Identifier" and "Driver"

Re: rtl8723be issue

That's a configlet from Xorg, modprobe has a far simpler syntax.
