I have an HP 455 Probook with AMD10-7300 processor and Realtek 8723be wireless card. I would like to install PC-BSD. Is there any hope of wireless working?
I wish there was a live disk I could use to test before installing.

          I had a real hard time with my wireless card on a HP Probook 450 G2 with a rtl8723be chipset. I had to install the drivers from here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new



          From all of the research I did when I had issues I found that I had to:



          • update kernel to at least 3.16

          • clone the git repo

          • remove the loaded kernel module

          • compile the module from the git repo

          • disable power management in the module config

          • load the module

          Since I did those things all of my own wifi issues have gone.



          I'm not using PC-BSD. I am using Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon Edition.



          You can find most of the info I found in this stackexchange answer:
          rtl8723be Realtek Wifi-Card driver not working on Ubuntu 14.04



          edit: for Linux Mint users I have summarised the steps here: http://www.thesysadmiral.co.uk/2015/11/linux-mint-on-hp-probook-450-g2-or.html
