@antonio-tobon Thank you, but unfortunately, following this suggestion immediately locked up the system in a kernel panic. However, the rtl8723be seemed to work fine after a kernel update a few days later. Perhaps there was a slight bug in the version I downloaded and the one pushed into the Ubuntu repos had it fixed. All is well now.
