I have tried the following on several kernels (under 12.04 and 14.04)
and so far it has worked well :
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
# needed only if you don't have yet that package
git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723be
# needed only if you don't have yet downloaded rtl8723be
cd rtl8723be
git checkout 604aa9058fb9e5bb1cf571c99989d081f8fc8b9
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8723be
echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
