marco.pallotta, as per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-
page.aspx?pid=5038#bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated
BIOS is available (F8). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Realtek Wifi card rtl8723be seems to lose network connection

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 14.04 64bit I encountered the continuos network hang.
  Network manager doesn't seems to change its status, as well as my IP address still remains but OS doesn't ping.
  The only solution is to reboot the system and wait for next network hang (I tested that just few commands via ssh lead to the issue).

  To fix this I launched the following command and reboot the system:

  $ echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0 ips=0" >
  /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
