#Realtek rtl8723ae wireless speed driver

If anyone can shed a light on alternatives, IвЂ™d be very thankful. ItвЂ™s really frustrating to buy a new notebook to use only with Ubuntu and not be able to use its wi-fi connection. The RTL8188CE, RTL8188EE and RTL8723AE are highly integrated 802.11n adapters that combine a MAC, a 1T1R capable baseband and an RF in a single chip.

If I sudo su and try again, I get the error bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument. The rtwn driver supports PCIe wireless network devices based on the Realtek RTL8188CE, RTL8188EE, RTL8192CE and RTL8723AE chipsets. I also tried to echo 10ec 8723 > new_id on the sysfs (/sys/bus/pci/drivers/rtl8192de) location ( of the driver (actually, on each of them, one at a time), but I get a вЂњPermission deniedвЂќ error even with sudo.

Since RealtekвЂ™s Linux drivers for RTL8192CE/SE/DE actually mention the 8723 chipset in its sources, I tried compiling them and modprobing them, but they donвЂ™t pick up the card ID (10ec:8723).The same errors occurred for both versions. I tried using both the 64-bit version (on my installed system, which uses the x86_64 version of Ubuntu) and the 32-bit version (on a live-USB x86 system with persistence enabled) of the Windows XP driver.Since this function doesnвЂ™t seem to be called from anywhere in ndiswrapperвЂ™s code, IвЂ™d assume the Windows driver is somehow calling it with bogus parameters. 1.58rc1 has dummy functions in their places, but it fails with a вЂњioremap failedвЂќ message.Upon further investigation, I have found that the function NdisMMapIOSpace (ndis.c:808), in 1.58rc1, gets called with physical address and length zero, which causes the failure. Both failed: version 1.57 does not provide an interface for the functions IoWMIOpenBlock and IoWMIQueryAllData. Installed ndiswrapper versions 1.57 (from repositories, with dkms) and 1.58rc1 (compiled from source from ndiswrapperвЂ™s website).I have tried the following steps in order to try and make it work: Realtek usually makes drivers available for its card, but this specific one doesnвЂ™t have a driver available on RealtekвЂ™s website. I bought a new laptop with a RTL8723AE-BT wireless card, but it seems there is nothing that makes it work.
