We all know the problems with RTL8723 wireless card and some people achieved to install but i can't. I have Ubuntu 12.10. When I do the make in terminal, it gives me this error

make -C /lib/modules/3.8.0-37-generic/build M=/home/adrian/Desktop/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0006.0514.2012 modules

i had the same problem the fix was simple just upgrade the kernel you need the latest kernel version i suggest 3.12

  1. Go here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
  2. Download 3 (maybe 4) debs to a folder somewhere:

linux-headers-VERSION-NUMBER_all.deb

linux-headers-VERSION-NUMBER_amd64.deb

linux-image-VERSION-NUMBER_amd64.deb

linux-image-extra-VERSION-NUMBER_amd64.deb # if available

3.Install the debs with whatever package manager front-end you use (is gdebi still around?), or use these commands:

cd /path/to/folder/where/you/put/the/debs

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
