Should be followed by an specific example for the newbies, like which part of the result of "lspci | grep Wireless" is considered as the driver code?

When I write 'sudo modprobe rtl8723be', I get 'modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'rtl8723be': Required key not available'. What to do? I removed the previous using -r. Now I dont have wifi on my laptop

Turn off secure boot in the BIOS. I cannot sign these modules as I do not have such a certificate.

+sudo reboot

+touch /etc/modprobe.d/<<YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER CODE>>.conf
+vim /etc/modprobe.d/<<YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER CODE>>.conf

Added March 16, 2016: All branches of this repo now support the ant_sel module option
for rtl8723be. In addition, patches to implement this feature have been submitted
to the linux-wireless repo. If accepted, they should appear in kernel 4.7; however,
they will be backported to kernels 4.0 and newer when they reach mainline.
