Having the same issue on a brand new Lenovo G50 with RealTek 8723be on 12.04.5 & 3.13-35 kernel.
Tried fix in #55 with kernel panic as the result. (locked up system, flashing caps-lock led) I also can't seem to set options that are honored by the driver via /etc/modprob.d/rtl8723be.conf Is there is a different location for the .conf file I should be setting those? (I had to create the file as it was, the driver install did not create one) I'm not particularly interested in moving to 14.04 or 14.10 as this isn't my personal machine with the problem, but can upgrade the kernel if it's supported on lts-trusty. If not, then I'd hope this will work on 14.04 at the least. The owner isn't keen on non-lts releases if they are avoidable. Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240940 Title: Need support for Realtek Wifi card rtl8723be [10ec:b723] Status in HWE Next Project: Fix Released Status in HWE Next trusty series: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet available upstream.
