Sorry, I can/will not do a BIOS update. 
The last time as I updated from V3.07 to V3.08 I temporary run Win 7 to execute the BIOS update file and it went wrong. The update has freezed while writing the BIOS and my laptop was damaged. I had to replace a the mainboard with a new one. 
So I am afraid of another damage and I said I will never make a BIOS update on this notebook again. :-(


Note: The behaviour of connection drops is the same as using the new driver rtlwifi_new (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83641#c1). After reconnect it is working again for a while.

Title:
  Realtek RTL8723BE wireless card drops connection

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using Lenovo M30-70.

  I tried many workarounds from
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1320070 but no
  change, the connection is lost after a while.

  Finally I tried the rtlwifi_new driver from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83641#c1.
  I first thought it works stable but after a while it also loses the connection (see my comment there). After reconnect it works for a while again.
  I uninstalled the rtlwifi_new driver for this bug report.


  (Bluetooth does not work at all, it doesn't find any devices)
