I freshly installed ubuntu 17.10.1 on my hp and my wifi seems to be not working. I searched for solution then i found apt-get linux-generic-hwe-16.04 it throws an error package not found

i run this command 

lspci -vnn | grep Network

output

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:d723]

    The package you mention is available for 16.04 https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-generic-hwe-16.04 which is why you get the error. It lets 16.04 use the 17.10 kernel so I don't see it helping you anyway. Sorry I can't help with your issue – guiverc Apr 09 '18 at 11:23
  • @Jeremy31 thanx, my wifi is working now – Harrish Kumar Apr 09 '18 at 11:54

HWE Kernel is prepared only for LTS releases. Reference: Ubuntu Wiki - LTS Enablement Stack

I would recommend waiting for 18.04 LTS release planned in this month and upgrade once.

Other option, check for mainline kernel as explained here which may work for you.
