problem realtek 8723 driver

I suspect it only takes the 'unblock' part. Please try this:

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Add a line above exit 0:

rfkill unblock 1

Proofread, save and close gedit.

Reboot and see if it's working. If not, we'll tweak a bit more.

it's not working

And after adding a line into rc.local, it's necessary to create a script and place it in /etc/rc6.d

#! /bin/sh

/usr/sbin/rfkill block 1

finally everything is done automatically, and wifi works after reboot

oops, wifi is broken again... i guess the magic worked only once (for one reboot)
i'm ready for

If not, we'll tweak a bit more.

#! /bin/sh

/usr/sbin/rfkill block 1

I think this should be:

#! /bin/sh

/usr/sbin/rfkill unblock 1

Please try it both with and without the change in /etc/rc.local.

what exactly should I try ?

at present, the trick is working when
1. with wifi on, before reboot I run manually the following script:

#!/bin/sh

rfkill block 1

as a result I can see how wifi indicator turns off in the upper system tray

2. soft reboot
3. system starts with working wifi
(/etc/rc.local is modified according your first instruction)

What should I do to make the step number one run automatically ?

[NerONLY]

Maybe my persistence in making things working my way looks little bit paranoid, but anyway I'll be very grateful for any answer

[chili555]

I don't feel it's paranoid in the least. It's just that I don't know an answer or even a wild guess. I think you want to add this to your shutdown and/or reboot scripts and I haven't a clue how to do it. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Hello I got a problem with the driver as well. I have followed the instructions from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13963...not-recognized . Now I can connect with the routers, but I always lose the connection and this is really annoying because it only happens in Ubuntu 12.10. I never lose the connection in Windows 7 and I don't know why...

Is there any clue in here?
