download the linux driver for your realtek wireless card from the toshiba website and install it. ( cd to folder, make and make install)
A lot of linux users have this problem so don't be worried. Go to system->administration->hardware drivers and deactivate the current driver installed for your wireless card. Then go to system->administration->Synaptic Package Manager. There you should find the latest linux-backports-modules and install them by checking the box next to it, selecting install, then clicking the arrow at the top of the window that says apply. Shut down your computer, boot it back up, and the wireless card should work properly. Hope this helps!
