I'm sorry I don't have a solution to your problem, I just want to 
mention that getting wireless to work with the Toshiba maybe a problem 
in and of itself.  I have a Toshiba Satellite C551-A and I have never 
been able to get wireless to work reliably on it under 12.04 or 14.04. I 
am lucky if I can connect 25% of the time.  Other wireless devices I 
have work just fine.

So if you get wireless to work in the Toshiba I would be interested in 
your solution.
