You can download and install the latest driver from Realtek from here:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

but some people have trouble building the downloaded packages in Ubuntu. You may need to install some other development packages before the make will compile without error, and you'll have to do all of this in a terminal, anyway.

From the release_notes in the 2013-01-09 version of the driver:

Release date = 2013-01-09
Operating system release = Ubuntu 12.10
Kernel version = 3.5.0

So yes, it supports Ubuntu 12.10 as well as 12.04 .
