No solution but here's the workaround that finally worked for me... (Ubuntu 14.014 stock kernel)
Download the latest driver (you might have to install git first): git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git Change into the new directory you just created: cd rtlwifi_new Compile and install the new driver: make sudo make install Edit the settings for the driver: echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0 swlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf It's probably a good idea to take a look at that file to make sure that worked. Some people say the "swlps=0" part of the command above is unnecessary. I'm not sure but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything.
