Ahm... I can try. Never built one before and I'm not sure how well my broken Manjaro installation will cope with that. But I can definitely try it...

Interesting. Maybe CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG=y workaround the issue? The value is not set on Ubuntu.

Unfortunately I am not able to find the configuration file in Manjaro. I looked into /usr/src/ but this folder is completely empty. I also tried locating it via find -type f -name '.config' but this only found my Linux Mint Kernel configurations.

I installed the linked kernel and the wifi still wasn't working (though with antenna 1 it didn't even find the wifi in the first place and with antenna 0 it wouldn't connect (the signal was really really bad though) so it almost seems as if the problem is even worse than with the 4.13.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.16 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.
