Comment 60 for bug 1240940

Having the same issue on a brand new Lenovo G50 with RealTek 8723be on 12.04.5 & 3.13-35 kernel.

Tried fix in #55 with kernel panic as the result. (locked up system, flashing caps-lock led)

I also can't seem to set options that are honored by the driver via /etc/modprob.d/rtl8723be.conf

Is there is a different location for the .conf file I should be setting those? (I had to create the file as it was, the driver install did not create one)

I'm not particularly interested in moving to 14.04 or 14.10 as this isn't my personal machine with the problem, but can upgrade the kernel if it's supported on lts-trusty. If not, then I'd hope this will work on 14.04 at the least. The owner isn't keen on non-lts releases if they are avoidable.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
