How to enable bluetooth on a HP ProBook 430 with a Realtek 8723BE

The built in drivers from Ubuntu 12 and Ubuntu 14 are not able to support bluetooth functionality of my RTL8723BE chip. I used to install the drivers from this two unofficial repos:


Those drivers temporary make bt work but very unstable and they are overwritten with Ubuntu updates - so this is not a solution to reinstall unstable drivers day by day.

Is there a way to get this BT chip work stable and consistant in ubuntu 14, the same way as under windows?

The bluetooth driver is in ppa now

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8723au-bt-dkms

No need to re-install it after kernel upgrades any more.
