Paweł Kowalik, just to clarify, if you have to use WORKAROUNDs like fwlps/ips=0, then the root problem of having to adjust those parameters wouldn't be considered solved.
Also, regarding filing reports upstream, it's not considered an upstream issue unless you have tested the latest mainline kernel (not default Ubuntu kernel). Hence, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451233 Title: Realtek RTL8723BE drops connection until reboot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a Lenovo B5400 laptop with RTL8723BE wireless module. 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. 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 --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.11 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: pk 1907 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: pk 1907 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=4ce160f4-029c-4fd5-ba3f-254c6e3e33dd InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-24 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) MachineType: LENOVO 20278 Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-38-generic root=UUID=a9da170f-b86b-434f-910b-00929ceb8420 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-38.52~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt10 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.16.0-38-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.16.0-38-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127.12 Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 03/03/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: J7ET61WW (2.06 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20278 QB0 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrJ7ET61WW(2.06):bd03/03/2014:svnLENOVO:pn20278:pvrB5400:rvnLENOVO:rn20278QB0:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 20278 dmi.product.version: B5400 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1451233/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
