Hi everyone.
I bought brand new laptop Asus X302UV-R4010D and installed latest Arch Linux on it.
And now I have problems with PCI wifi card RTL8723BE - it not working at all.
First problem I got when tried to install Arch Linux from USB stick was the AER reporting problem with this wifi card, dmesg was flooded with next messages:
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e5
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected,
type=Physical Layer, id=00e5(Receiver ID)
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: device [8086:9d15] error status/mask=00000001/00002000
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: [ 0] Receiver Error (First)
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e5
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: can't find device of ID00e5
And I was unable to use card at all - card was blocked by rfkill.
# ip link set wlp3s0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
When I tried to unblock - card begin to be "hard blocked". When I click on Fn+F2 (disable airmode) - it going to be soft blocked. When I tried to disable soft block - wifi card start scanning, but in one-two seconds begin to be hard blocked. Whatever I tried card every time hard or soft blocked.
So I found lots of topics with same problem - and solution is to install rtlwifi_new driver or/and set driver options. I tried, but problem still occur.
While searching I found that AER problem is well known problem and connected with Intel Skylake architecture - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
And for now there is only one solution - hide that messages using one of next boot parameters
pci=noaer
pci=nomsi
pcie_aspm=off
pci=nommconf
All listed above boot parameters hide AER messages, but wifi card still not working.
# rfkill list
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
after clicking Fn-f2:
# rfkill list
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
and after unblocking:
# rfkill unblock all
# rfkill list
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
5: hci0: Bluetooth

Also I tried to install linux-drm-intel-nightly kernel, disable "asus_wmi" module, used testing packages and still have problems.
I'm confused and don't know what to do next. Use external USB wifi card is solution but not comfortable. Maybe anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
P.S. Tried latest Ubuntu - same AER problem and wifi not working.
P.S.S. On Windows 10 all work as charm
P.S.S.S. Sorry for my bad English.

There is a parameter for asus_nb_wmi that may help, I would try
echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb.confReboot and check the rfkill results

Thank you, jeremy31, that got it.
Now wifi works, but very slow (6-7 mbps when my connection is 80-100 mbps). I think need to configure driver. Anyway this solved.
