I've just bought a new laptop and installed Ubuntu 12.04 in it. My problem is that I can make a wired connection but not a wireless one. The wireless network is working okay with other computers but not with the new one. The new laptop can't detect it. Can anyone help me?

On a terminal, typing lspci the output is
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge DRAM Controller (rev 09)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Panther Point USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04)

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 07)

Inspecting the drivers installed the one for the Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8723 is not there. How do I install it?

Thank you

  • Hi, and welcome to Ask Ubuntu! If your problem is solved, you should either accept an answer here or write your own answer to how you fixed this, and accept it. Editing your title to say "Solved" does not actually mark your question as "answered" (aka "solved"). – Thomas Ward Aug 06 '13 at 23:35

I believe this has been asked and answered already on ask ubuntu. Here is a link to the thread. Wireless card Realtek RTL8723AE-BT is not recognized. Hope that gives you the insight you need!
