Hi,
I also have Toshiba satellite series laptop (old model though).
If the wifi in your laptop of "Athreos", then I suggest you a solution.
Google "madwifi". Actually you have to build the madwifi, to support
"Athreos".
This issue started in my laptop long back, I guess since ubuntu-9
or ubuntu - 10. Not able to recall properly though.
