Yes it has been tested on 3.18  and it's still not working

but I'm not surprised as the realtek support has not been pushed in
mainline kernel and I doubt that Ubuntu kernel devs would patch that
sort of thing.

What would be the right procedure then ? Push the fix to upstream ? We
have everything ready on the github mentionned above.

For now I've created an alpha state DKMS from this github :

https://github.com/EkimiaSAS/rtl8723au_bt/tree/dkms

Which results in a dkms deb but which does not include the firmware.

http://support.ekimia.fr/drivers/Bluetooth/rtl8x/

Also this DKMS overwrite the current btusb which quite dangerous ....

Does the ubuntu project  distribute  dkms drivers even when they are
opensource ?

For now it's the right thing to do it seems.

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We need to support the realtek bluetooth part that comes with the
  Realtek Wifi MiniPCI Card ( 8723BE )

  the info collect has been done a Clevo W310CZ

  Realtek has provided a driver which has been patched to work on
  trusty/3.13 here :

  https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt/tree/51a20d7c07861cbdd7219e54244bb3e38ba55058

  This driver replace the current btusb driver and thus might cause different dehaviour with other bluetooth cards.
