https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105471 is about a different card, is about latency rather than connection drops, and is marked solved. Do you want me to file this upstream? There are countless reports about this card, but none upstream. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=rtle8723be

Using 802.11n the internet connection constantly getting lost after a random duration (usually after 20-30 minutes). The NetworkManager applet does not recognize it (still looks like i have a connection), but when I try do disconnect and connect again, there is only one useful information I can find in dmesg: "wlan0: deauthenticating from [ap mac address] by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)" Reinserting the driver (modprobe -r rtl8723be and modprobe rtl8723) used to be my only workaround, but it does not work anymore and now I have to reboot. Router Manufacturer: EDIMAX Model: BR-6214K Firmware version: 1.40 2008/11/03 08:33:04 Switching to 802.11g (54Mb/s) shows a small performance improvement while browsing websites. However there are still random "ping jumps" and the connection still drops (maybe 1-2 minutes later than usual at least). The following improves performance, but I am still encountering some minor performance issues while playing online games (random lag spikes): sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf options rtl8723be ips=0 fwlps=0 --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.11 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: pk 1907 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: pk 1907 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=4ce160f4-029c-4fd5-ba3f-254c6e3e33dd InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-24 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) MachineType: LENOVO 20278 Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-38-generic root=UUID=a9da170f-b86b-434f-910b-00929ceb8420 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-38.52~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt10 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.16.0-38-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.16.0-38-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127.12 Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 03/03/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: J7ET61WW (2.06 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20278 QB0 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrJ7ET61WW(2.06):bd03/03/2014:svnLENOVO:pn20278:pvrB5400:rvnLENOVO:rn20278QB0:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 20278 dmi.product.version: B5400 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1451233/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
