Just works perfectly (not an issue)
It works perfect on yoga i7 ubuntu 13.04, using:
- Android phone to share internet connection via USB
- sudo apt-get install git
- git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au.git
- cd rtl8723au/
- make
- sudo make install
(Just wanted to say thanks!)

FYI, you may use "git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt.git" to get a Bluetooth driver for the 8723au.

There is bluetooth driver as well! this is awesome. Is this open-source? why is this not a dmks package in ubuntu/debian? I can upload it =))) in ubuntu we can even lookup and find/install that driver automagically!
i'm on Lenovo Yoga 13" (with i7) and Ubuntu 13.10 and unfortunately no success even with the ping :-/
It seems to work for other people. I have no idea what might be wrong.
I do not have a device, and I can do nothing more than post the driver. So far, no one has offered to buy me a Yoga 13 :)
I tried ubuntu 13.04 as well -- still with the same issue (please find the new issue i've created)
Thanks for the driver and your hard work! just be curious, will the driver be part of the kernel any time soon?
BTW,after the regular Ubuntu update that happened last week, networking started to work finally with my router at home. It is extremely slow, but it works at least. So the issue was fixed partially upstream somehow.
And thank you a lot for your driver once again!
@Ioky: I do not have a device for testing. As the changes needed to add it to the kernel would be substantial, iI do not feel that submitting without testing would be appropriate. I was contacted by someone who proposed to do the conversion, but that was a few months ago, and I have heard nothing more.
@vak: What were the kernel versions before and after the latest Ubuntu update?
@lwfinger , the current one is: 3.11.0-13-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 07:38:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The previous one was, quite probably, 3.11.0-12
However, I can't state for sure it was the Ubuntu update that included also the kernel update. It could be, but I didn't pay much attention ((
Update: yesterday I've found that there is no healthy networking again. I spend some time and reproduced the "resurrection" that happened last weekend:
- Start: WiFi connection showed up as "Connected", but no web site is reachable.
- I connect my smartphone to my Yoga 13 and apply USB-Tethering (by the way using the same WiFi-router) -- networking is fine via tethering
- i disconnect smartphone from my Yoga 13 and networking remains fine.
So, the reason was rather not the Ubuntu update, but the sequence that I have described here.
Probably, the hostname-to-IP resolving is not correctly negotiated between Yoga 13 and router, but it is somehow fixed after USB-Tethering. (i need time to see if it is really the host resolving issue and not the IP-routing issue though)
Is There anyway I can help you test the Driver？ I can't loan you the physical hardware. But I am very happy to help test things out. or even let you know connect to hardware over the internet, or something. Don't know if that help.
