Guys, Just sharing my experience with this issue. I've got Lenovo Thinkpad L440 recently which has this realtek network device. Installed 12.04 LTS and all I could see was "no network device available". So no wired & wireless connection could be made. Then I read various solutions over web and then found this bug filed. Later I tried installing 3.14-rc7 and rebooted. Now my wired connection (ethX) is up but still no wireless support. Now I see only one UNCLAIMED (earlier there were 2) h/w in 'lshw' output. $ sudo lshw -C network -numeric *-network description: Ethernet interface product: Intel Corporation [8086:153B] vendor: Intel Corporation [8086] physical id: 19 bus info: pci@0000:00:19.0 logical name: eth9 version: 05 serial: 3c:97:0e:e8:0a:25 size: 1Gbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e1000e driverversion=2.3.2-k duplex=full firmware=0.13-3 ip=192.168.1.126 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=1Gbit/s resources: irq:42 memory:f2500000-f251ffff memory:f253f000-f253ffff ioport:6080(size=32) *-network UNCLAIMED description: Network controller product: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
