Bug Description

M/c is Zoostorm laptop no o/s supplied.

Kernel contains Realtek RTL8723e wifi driver. built by user from following:
<<
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
cd Realtek
cd rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0007.0809.2012
make
make install
end
>>
Note the above includes bluetooth driver. It is run as script.

Installing ndiswrapper was an attempt to use windows driver instead since there is no driver in Ubuntu and the above is much worse with 12.10 than it was with 12.04. When can we see Raeltek support in the kernel?

I have trawled through 1023645 log, it is very convoluted and contradictory and finally hijacked by spammers.

I'll just wait until you decide to support Realtek wireless drivers. It may be quicker than wading through that lot again and trying to pick the solution straw out of the haystack. Thanks for all your efforts though, just sometimes please remember to come back to earth where most of us live.
