Looks familiar, except this is the first install on this laptop so it has never worked before. Mine is a Toshiba L505-ES5018 and I am using a Linksys E-1000 router. I have other computers running Mac OS-X, Win 7 and an old Compaq M-2000 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala. All work fine with the router.
Should I try to use the Realtek Windows driver with ndiswrapper?

Downloaded the drivers from Realtek and installed the driver. Wireless was able to work if I manually stopped then started up the wireless connection. Then today I got the new update from Ubuntu, which contain an update for acpi and now is working fine.
