Two wifi interfaces on pinebook

[bhush9]

On xenial there were two ways to solve this issue,

#!/bin/bash
cat << EOF > /etc/modprobe.d/wifi-rt8723-pine64.conf
# Disable Secondary Wireless Lan (8723bs Has Two Interfaces)
options 8723bs if2name=p2p0 rtw_power_mgnt=0
options 8723cs if2name=p2p0 rtw_power_mgnt=0
EOF

Or

#!/bin/bash
cat << EOF > /etc/network/interfaces.d/disable-second-wifi
# Disable Secondary Wireless Lan (8723bs Has Two Interfaces)
iface wlan1 inet manual
EOF

Neither works in bionic, For record, I also tried iface p2p0 inet manual in 2nd attempt, but that fails as well. In case of first one modeprobe -c lists those options and also /sys/module/{8723bs,8723cs}/parameters lists those options properly but fails neverthless... so shrug.

Adding @davidedmundson as he added modeprobe.d solution.

I am working with jgrulich for this bug and have provided required debug information.

[star-buck]

nothing seems to have happened in that ticket at least.
Any trick to not show it, like is it a regression that it worked on xenial or what is the exact issue?

@bhush9 : still an issue, this would be nice to have fixed if neon was to installed default.
