Tero Ratilainen, because Samsung does not easily reveal what the latest BIOS is for a given model, could you please download the latest firmware as per http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/NP-RF511-S03SE-downloads#, and advise if a BIOS update is available? If so, when you update to this, does it change anything?  If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

** Summary changed:

Title:
  14e4:4727 [Samsung NP-RF511-S03SE] wifi stops working when laptop lid
  is closed

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10, when I close the laptop lid, the wlan connection is
  closed. Wired (ethernet) connections keep working normally.

  This prevents using only external monitor in places where wired
  connections are not accessible and forces the user to keep the laptop
  display on even if it is not needed.

  Changing the power manager settings to "Do nothing" does not affect
  this. It also does not matter if the laptop is plugged in or not.

  Looking at this discussion, it seems this problem has existed at least
  from Ubuntu 8.04, and Kubuntu is affected as well:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968785

  Apparently, at some point, disabling the screen saver would fix this issue. However, there is no such setting on Ubuntu 12.10.
