Hello everyone! I was wondering if someone can PLEASE help out with the following issue I'm having.
It's about installing Ubuntu on a X551MA-SX020D ASUS laptop. The aforementioned laptop comes with an integrated Intel ValleyView Gen7 (rev 0c) graphics board and a Realtek rtl8821ae chip for wireless connectivity. Upon installation of Ubuntu 13.10 [default 3.11.0-12-generic kernel] all the devices are functional, *except* the rtl8821ae chip which the system simply cannot see. By either upgrading just the kernel to 3.14 or the whole installation to 14.04 [Trusty Tahr] what I get is a functioning rtl8821ae chip and a *blank screen* [seems to just go off] just before the graphical interface is about to show... After TONS of research I found the following thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/384246/how-do-i-get-a-realtek-8821-wireless-card-working which points to: http://www.linlap.com/asus_transformer_book_trio_tx201la [the instructions on which I am incapable of reproducing on Ubuntu] And also *this* thread. What I care about is to get both the monitor's resolution and the wireless chip to function properly. What I do NOT care about is on which kernel or version of Ubuntu. Thank you in advance for any help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287298 Title: missing support for rtl8821ae Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: Cheap all-in-one pcs are showing up with this wireless chip built-in, e.g.: http://www.asus.com/ASUS_VivoPC/ and right now our T kernel doesn't have any support for it.
