hello.
Hi,
i did a fresh network install of debian wheezy 7.7. i have kernel
3.2.0-4-amd64
i have a laptop toshiba sattelite pro C850 - 1HG with the RTL8723AE
wireless lan card.
Problem: Wireless Lan not working
basically i have the same problem as "dannycrafts" on the debian user
forum: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=114077
i also (like him) tried install firmware-realtek from
wheezy-backports. no sucess. I can turn on and off a little red light
with a keyboard shortcut for WLAN on/off but there is no WLAN
available.
Please what can I do?
Wired network works fine of course. Also my Wireless Lan did work in
the past with other Linux distributions.
Well, according to:
$git tag --contains c592e631bcec
the driver for your network controller has been first added in Linux
3.8, so please check if
the driver has been backported in the wheezy kernel using for example:
$grep RTL8723AE /boot/config-$(uname -r)
If this command reports nothing on the standard output, then I fear
you’ll have to ask to
the kernel team to backport this driver, or to use a more recent kernel
version (from wheezy-backports for example).
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Vincent
