My 2 cents on this dreaded wifi+bt card.

My system: Lenovo Flex 2 - intel i5 + 8GB RAM
Ubuntu version: 15.04 (clean install)

Previously when I was on 14.04 LTS, I had to create a rtl8723be.conf file and add the options to make my system stable.

I did a clean install of UBuntu 15.04 a couple of days back. After which, I am able to connect to the wifi network without any extra setting. I made a few changes to wifi router though (Dlink N router)

1. Set channel to 1
2. Set frequency to 2.4GHZ
3. Set encryption to WPA+AES

I have a stable connection, with no drops .

I have a few issues though.
1. The wifi never connects when laptop is woken up ffrom sleep. Needs a reboot
2. The wifi never connects to router when signal strength is less than 50%
