Hi All, I got back an email-bot of Larry Finger's inbox, so that's why I'm writting to this list in connection with my laptop Toshiba Satellite C855-10M. It has wireless network card: rtl8273e (I'm not 100% sure whether my problem could come from the last letters, but hope the best not :)). So I have ubuntu 12.04 installed on this computer. I tried out the compat-driver and what I have found on ubuntu wiki http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized too. Both was working but not 100%. Later I tried out the latest mainstream kernel from ubuntu (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) v3.8-rc7-raring/ <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc7-raring/>. To get it work I separately copied the firmware (at this moment only what was included in the |rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0006.0514.2012.tar.gz file or to be more precise from the version 0007, but I do not find the download link for it.| With ubuntu 12.04/kernel-3.8rc7+firmware it was working except one special thing. I can't tell the exact reproduction step, but what is very close to it I would say a really cold reboot ( I mean here that switch off the computer and let is for some hours to really cool down, for example for a night.) then turn on the computer and then it can't connect to the wifi router. But If I switch off manually the wifi on the laptop (it can be managed by keyboard settings) and turn it back again that from that moment it is working (not all the cases,but most of the cases is working ). So my question would be whether does any of you have any idea what I can do to avoid this strange situation? The laptop is used by my mother so for her it is not an option to switch it off and on again. I can accept it that I write a small script to disable and enable again the wifi but in the past when I tried out the previous methods (so not kernel 3.8) unloading the module and load it back sometimes does not solve the problem. The wifi is good, because under windows 7/8 it is working well. Can any of you help me to solve this issue? What should I have to do, what kind of log should I send and so on.
