Hello Christopher, I have tried with vivid a few weeks ago already (live cd), but that didn't help either. Should I retry that or is there a way to use the latest firmware in 14.04? I don't have any spare partition on this machine to install 15.04 on, and given that 15.x is not LTS i don't want to overwrite my current LTS with that.
I will try the mainline kernel, although I did try that as well several weeks ago (even tried upstream kernels directly from kernel.org). I will report back. Thanks. -- 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/1493143 Title: rtl8723be wifi unusable on lenovo ideapad y50-70 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The rtl8723be wifi adapter rarely connects to a network.
