Hello Again,

are there some news?
In actual i found a acceptable pro-forma solution for the WLAN-problem with my flex 14-2.
At first a look to my trial-history:
I installed the Kernel 3.16 and later the 3.17 RC 4 manually (you can find some tutorials by using google...)
In this two trials I started the rtl8723be-module via
/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
with the following content:

options rtl8723be fwlps=0 swlps=0 ips=0

Subjective considered the drop-down-effect is much more better (no matter with which kernel version) but when i took a ping to my wireless gateway, I have had a packet-loss from round about 20 percent.

After some investigation i found the tip to deactivate my bluetooth-device with

rfkill block bluetooth

(you can put this command to /etc/rc.local to have this state after every reboot)

My actual setup is the kernel 3.17 rc4 with the called module-options. So i have a packet-loss vom 0 to 1 percent. If i will deactivate the module-options i have a packet-loss from round about 10 percent.

This is not a clean solution but it makes the handling with the wireless network much easier in case you don't need the bluetooth-connection.

My actual question is why i cannot use the bluetooth-device successfully. It doesnt matter if WiFi is activated or deactivated. I cannot find another bluetooth-devices and my Flex 14-2 cannot be found by any other bluetooth-device.

Is this problem present by using Windows 8.1? I cannot test it because i erased my Windows-Partition.

I hope i could help someone with my experiences with this topic.

Greetings, waldguru
