Bug Description

notebook lenovo 11s and 13s use wlan driver rtl8723. Driver didn't come with standard installation ubuntu 14.04.
After installing driver from git with solution in ubuntuusers forum wlan works well.
But after every update I have to install it again, see script below.
It's the same issue with bluethooth.
Even with bluetooth driver strange effects occurs (connect to xserver failed)

2) version lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
3) package: rtl8723au (wlan driver form git)

Could you manage to add wlan and bluethooth driver rtl8723 into standard kernel?
>>>
sudo apt-get install git
git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au.git
cd rtl8723au
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8723au
<<<
