No wireless after 12.10 installation

[chili555]

No firmware? Let's get some. Please download the attached to your desktop. Right-click it and select Extract Here. Now open a terminal and do:

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtlwifi

The file may already exist. Please proceed.

sudo cp Desktop/rtlwifi/*.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

Now, we unload and reload the driver so it sees the needed firmware:

sudo modprobe -r rtl8723ae
sudo modprobe rtl8723ae

Now we check for any improvement:

iwconfig 
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

Now let's do some housekeeping:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

And let's check:

cat /etc/modules | tail -n5
