To check kernel version use

    uname -a

    apt policy firmware-realtek

or at least

    apt list -a firmware-realtek

You may search Ubuntu bug tracker or changelogs for patches related to 
realtek. Ubuntu kernel team builds vanilla kernels, so you may try to 
install it (to Ubuntu) to check if Ubuntu kernel has some patches or 
everything works there with upstream kernels.

Skim through "journalctl -b" output, maybe there are some errors or 
warnings that are not reported by dmesg.
