    I found

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Driver/bcm43xx

    I have the 802.11 Wireless LAN Solutions:

    Whats worrying is that when i run "lspci" i dont see my wireless card at all.

    Re: Wireless Card / Driver Configuration

    ok, so i read this post:

    http://askubuntu.com/questions/11529...nseen-by-lspci

    and wanted to try to change wireless settings in BIOS, as suggested also here

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1803808

    However, I can only see my GUI Intel BIOS, and this has no mention of wireless settings.

    Does anyone know how to change (on/off) wireless settings in BIOS?

    Regards, Sam

    If you search this forum for 10ec:8723, you will see many threads on how to install this driver, including some authored by me!

    Which 12.04 version do you have? I believe 12.04.3 LTS includes the 3.8.0-29 kernel which includes the driver for the famous 8723 device. You could also certainly upgrade to 13.04.

    Re: Wireless Card / Driver Configuration

    Hi Chili555,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have LTS 12.04.

    I spent some time going through 3 pages ofr previous posts, but couldnt really find anything that helped, and still not sure what to do.

    Here are some commands i ran

    Code:
     service networking restart
stop: Unknown instance: 
networking stop/waiting


sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
Reading package lists... Done

rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
    I am stuck as to what my problem is, and what threads / posts are relevant. A lot have them marked as "solved", but arent actually solved.

    Re: Realtek [10ec:8723]

    First, did you also install build-essential and ALL its dependencies? Second, where did you get this awful thing?
    8723AE_8723AU_Linux_support_0419
    And this???
    rlt8723a_chip_b_cut_bt40_fw_asic_rom_patch-svn7125-0x2C1EFF37-20120314-Linux.bin
    Oh my, oh my! I doubt they are the correct drivers and I doubt they will even work. You didn't find this on the forum, did you?

    You could struggle along for days and still not get this thing going or you could simply and quickly:
    I believe 12.04.3 LTS includes the 3.8.0-29 kernel which includes the driver for the famous 8723 device. You could also certainly upgrade to 13.04.

    Chili555,

    Thanks for your continued help.

    It seems i am doing lots wrong. But i don't know where to get correct packages or drivers, or what order i should be doing this in? I don't have any connection on my Ubuntu box, so I have to download stuff separately and put it on usb.

    I got packages from

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-u...5.0-23-generic

    and was trying to follow

    http://www.answeredubuntu.com/139632....7PUUzwPK.dpbs

    and/or

    In order to get this to work the way you are going, you need linux-headers, build-essential, dpkg-dev, fakeroot, g++, g++-4.6, libalgorithm-diff-perl, libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl, libalgorithm-merge-perl, libdpkg-perl, libstdc++6-4.6-dev and libtimedate-perl. You'l need to find, download and transfer all of those and all in the correct version and install them:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i some_package.deb
    Correct any errors, rinse and repeat.


    OR...

    Download and install the 3.8 linux-image I linked and install it:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i linux-image*.deb
    Reboot and done!

    Which do you prefer? The links you gave are unlikely to work. I know. The first guy to solve rtl8723ae in Ubuntu was me.

    Frankly, if it were my computer, I'd download the DVD for Ubuntu 13.04 and install it and be done in about 15 minutes.

    Chili555,

    I installed Ubuntu 13.04.

    And all is working fine - picked up wireless connection no problem.

    Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!
