With 19 more months of support for 16.04 (and the 4.4 kernel), consider the 8723bs drivers in the trusty-chestersmill repository ( http://oem.archive.canonical.com/updates/ trusty-chestersmill public) These drivers worked fine through the Ubuntu 4.4.0-142 release (when the API change broke many drivers). The fix for that problem may be much simpler than changing the lwfinger or hadess drivers. Note, bug 175309 for the header fix necessary for the audio packages from that repo.
