[Adrien Monteleone <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having the same issue on a brand new Lenovo G50 with RealTek 8723be on
12.04.5 & 3.13-35 kernel.

Tried fix in #55 with kernel panic as the result. (locked up system,
flashing caps-lock led)

I also can't seem to set options that are honored by the driver via
/etc/modprob.d/rtl8723be.conf

Is there is a different location for the .conf file I should be setting
those? (I had to create the file as it was, the driver install did not
create one)

I'm not particularly interested in moving to 14.04 or 14.10 as this
isn't my personal machine with the problem, but can upgrade the kernel
if it's supported on lts-trusty. If not, then I'd hope this will work on
14.04 at the least. The owner isn't keen on non-lts releases if they are
avoidable.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
