After updating the kernel on my new laptop Ubuntu 12.04.2, I realized that I lost the drivers (not in kernel) for:
- Wireless
- Card Reader
After some investigation:
- lsusb returned me the wireless hardware 0bda:8723 Realtek Semiconductor Corp., and I figured out the this new card don't have drivers on realtek site yet, but I found this page around...

Just follow the How-to on how to download and compile the driver and instalation, it will work fine...
If you want to upgrade your computer maybe you should download this stuff first, or you will end up just like me with a cable close to the router....
- lspci returned me the card reader hardware Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01).
As before this drivers are not on kernel, however, this is an Ubuntu reported bug which as a solution.
Just surf to :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/971876, and follow this instructions to execute in command line.
wget http:// planet76. com/drivers/ realtek/ rts-bpp- dkms_1. 1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo dpkg -i rts-bpp- dkms_1. 1_all.deb
echo 'DRIVERS= ="rts_bpp" , ENV{ID_ DRIVE_FLASH_ SD}="1" ' | sudo tee -a /lib/udev/ rules.d/ 81-udisks- realtek. rules
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo dpkg -i rts-bpp-
echo 'DRIVERS=
After that you need to reboot and the card reader will work fine....
Linux is not hard, and I try to make it easier for everyone...
