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 403-852-8066
