[Bug 1451233] Re: 10ec:b723 [Lenovo B5400] Realtek RTL8723BE drops connection until reboot
Nemo_bis, unless the original reporter tested the latest mainline kernel
(now 4.6-rc6), then it's not considered an upstream problem.
If you want to be helpful, and have a problem with your card, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with the Ubuntu repository kernel (not mainline/upstream) via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux
Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Title:
10ec:b723 [Lenovo B5400] Realtek RTL8723BE drops connection until
reboot
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I have a Lenovo B5400 laptop with RTL8723BE wireless module. Using 802.11n the internet connection constantly getting lost after a random duration (usually after 20-30 minutes). The NetworkManager applet does not recognize it (still looks like i have a connection), but when I try do disconnect and connect again, there is only one useful information I can find in dmesg:
"wlan0: deauthenticating from [ap mac address] by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)"
Reinserting the driver (modprobe -r rtl8723be and modprobe rtl8723) used to be my only workaround, but it does not work anymore and now I have to reboot.
Router Manufacturer: EDIMAX
Model: BR-6214K
Firmware version: 1.40 2008/11/03 08:33:04
Switching to 802.11g (54Mb/s) shows a small performance improvement
while browsing websites. However there are still random "ping jumps"
and the connection still drops (maybe 1-2 minutes later than usual at
least).
The following improves performance, but I am still encountering some minor performance issues while playing online games (random lag spikes):
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
options rtl8723be ips=0 fwlps=0
