Hello! I installed an Ubuntu Budgie version in an old notebook that have a PCI Wi-fi module.

In the first moment, Ubuntu didn’t recognize the Wi-Fi model (the Wi-fi model is rtl8723ae).

I found a lot of tutorials in the internet, but all of those recommend a dropbox link that is offline now.

Someone knows another link to this driver?
