I have made edits to this post and Wi-Fi works now, but I still have problems with Bluetooth, and is further explained below at "EDITS:"

A verbose output of lsusb has been posted down below, please tell me if I can get more info out of this. It indicates that Bluetooth is under Chicony Electronics.

Note: I have added another bounty on this question as I still have this issue with Bluetooth. I would like to have my internal Bluetooth working to reduce hassle with USB devices. I recall browsing answers which includes converting and editing specific driver files from Windows so I can use it with Linux and would like to do that where possible, but I lack experience with it and would love an answer that guides me through.

Original Question

I've got everything working on this laptop except for two tiny wee things:

1. Bluetooth is not functioning correctly: it does show up in the tray, I can turn it on. When trying searching for a new device, none is found, and my other devices are unable to find my laptop either.


2. Wi-Fi does seem to work, but after some time this becomes unstable: I'm unable to connect to any access point anymore until I restart my machine.

I have been searching on several forums and on this website, but I honestly do not have any idea what specific model I have for Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, and am unable to determine what drivers I need for this. I do know that the manufacturer of this Bluetooth device is Realtek.

If you would like to help me, I'd gladly appreciate it.

I have installed the Wi-Fi driver from source from here. I tried to install the Bluetooth driver with these files and make, but they do not work. Does anyone know the solution to Bluetooth?

I would buy a new mini-PCIe Wi-Fi card (30-50 bucks) if I were you. Lot's of good ones out there. If you want to keep up on the bug reports for your card not working with bluetooth and flaky wifi you can read what others have tried and sign up here

Unfortunately Realtek shows nothing for an RTL8723BE, but the WiFi drivers for Linux can be downloaded directly from Realtek, here: Realtek PCIe WiFi driver page

Here is an AskUbuntu page which seems to solve the WiFi problem for this Reaktek card: Wifi problems with rtl8723be in Ubuntu 14.04

There was an answer which appears to have solved the bluetooth problem in AskUbuntu: RTL8723BE Bluetooth does not work

Those should solve your issue.
