Title:
  rtl8723be wifi unusable on lenovo ideapad y50-70

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I obtained a lenovo y50-70 a few weeks ago, and installed ubuntu
  14.04.3 LTS on it (dual boot with windows 8 that came pre-installed).

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  I have not been able to get the rtl8723be wifi adapter to work yet.

  If it will connect to a wifi network at all (which is rare), it will
  be choppy (10% to 50% packet loss on a ping to the default gateway)
  and usually disconnect after a few minutes.

  The internet suggests a few work-arounds:

  - run with fwlps=0 ips=0 as options to the rtl8723be module (eg. http://askubuntu.com/questions/590414/wifi-problems-with-rtl8723be-in-ubuntu-14-04)
  - install an alternative driver (eg. http://askubuntu.com/questions/590414/wifi-problems-with-rtl8723be-in-ubuntu-14-04)
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230961

  However, none of those suggested worked for me.

  I have tried downgrading the kernel down to 3.13.0-62, and various
  kernels in between, but none of that helped either.
