Realtek driver issue in Ubuntu 12.01
Subsystems (2)
Hello:
I have come across your driver info and thought I would write you and see if you could help.
I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite Pro C870 laptop and have successfully installed the latest version of Ubuntu 12.01.
I then discovered that the wireless network driver for my wifi was not working, and the wired network was.
Not being very experienced writing command line Linux commands, I installed a graphical interface to identify which drivers that Ubuntu was using for my drivers.
This is where I found your email and information for the Realtek & the Linux r8169 crew.
So I am emailing you as you have experience writing drivers.
So, if you are interested, I am hoping you may solve this problem, as I see many posts on the Ubuntu website trying to fix this problem.
I have the Realtek RTL8723AE wireless Lan 802.11(n) card according to the specs posted by Toshiba for this model. The drivers that are installed according to the software I have used is the Realtek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet Driver.
What do I need to do to get this wifi issue solved?
So, I hope this helps, if you are willing.
Any help is great.
Thanks,
Curtis West

This is a mailing list, BTW.

r8169 is likely the driver for your wired interface. rtl8723ae would be the driver for your wifi card.

The r8169 driver supports wired ethernet chipsets only.
You need the rtlwifi module and you may check the linux-wireless mailing list archive.
