Problem connecting to the AP with a RTL8723BE wireless card.

Since a few months, several users reported having troubles connecting with Realtek RTL8723BE chipsets. At first, I put that on a poor support of this chipset (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=131923 or https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=208472…), but given the number of reports I think that, if that’s the case, an entry in the nown issue would be a good thing.

the last user reporting the error is not familiar at all with computers, but from what I understood, the wireless card is recognized, the module is loaded, but Network Manager doesn’t show any networks available.

This user sent a whisperback report.
