Realtek RTL8723AE wifi no driver

Hi,
I installed arch in a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C840-SP4225KL. But the wifi network doesn't work.

Re: Realtek RTL8723AE wifi no driver

The `lspci` output for your wireless card would be good -- you have just given us the graphics card & RAM controller info...

lspci -knn|grep -iA2 net

You forgot to scroll down smile, it's there.

@licha: Run dmesg and look at its output, there should be some info about wireless there.

Re: Realtek RTL8723AE wifi no driver

Have you tried turning the module on? That driver has been supported by the regular kernel since 3.7 iirc.

modeprobe rtl8723ae

then check to see if it shows in your device list
