    Tested on two different devices and all seems to work properly as before (realtek wifi and bluetooth). No negative experiences compared to before the upgrade.

    Are these the firmware packages (original -> update)?

    After many months, I finally got my bluetooth to work on my cheap chinese tablet. But the firmware I needed wasn’t included in the firmware-realtek package.
    Could you ask the MX team if they can include rtl8723bs_config-OBDA8723.bin and rtl8723bs_fw.bin in the next firmware-realtek package version? I just tested them and they work (finally I have bluetooth on my cherrytrail tablet!).

    Thanks for your work.
