I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 and everything has been working great, except I cannot see ANY wireless networks, Wired works fine, and while on Windows 7 I can connect fine.lspci -v gives me a wall of text, the end is:

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my samsung n150. It has the 8192 device in it. Have installed ndiswrapper, however cannot get the drivers for it. How to fix/where to get the driver from so I can get my wireless card working again.

I think the driver may be there, however I just can't 'enable' it. On my laptop there is a blue light saying that wifi is enabled however who knows.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID xxxx:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp Is there driver for this wireless USB dongle? At least it does not load when plug-in like rtl8187.
I found a few fixes which I tried to use, to no sucess. updating drivers, turning router on/off, turning wireless switch on/off, various other fixes from ubuntuforums. tried to upgrade to Natty Narwhale to see if the problem worked it's way out, to no avail. I've spent two days trying for this. Anyone out there willing to point me in the right direction or hold my hand?
I am trying to install Realtek RTL8192E wireless drivers for Toshiba satellite 510 in Fedora 14 KDE SPIN. I have been searching it for long time. I am not getting any tutorials or any methids to get this sorted.
my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.
I've got UNE 10.10 installed on a Samsung N150 that uses the RTL8192E for wireless. When the wireless works then it generally works okay, but I'm having problems with reboots and long-running connections. This is different to the mass of posts (mainly from 2009) about the card not working at all, so I started a new thread.Basically, 90%+ of cold boots result in a successful wireless connection, with Network Manager remembering my WPA password.
When the wireless is up then it never obviously drops out, but I've got an app with a long-running connection that seems to disconnect itself occasionally. Looking at Wireshark then it appears that there are a number of retransmits, and a big batch just before it disconnects (which implies that the app is dropping its connection because it thinks the other end disappeared). Running the app on another machine with a different card but through the same release of Ubuntu and the app and the same router doesn't result in retries or drop-outs.On the times when a cold boot doesn't successfully reconnect then it asks for the WPA password, then continues trying, then asks for the WPA password again, then continues trying, then asks...and so on until I rmmod and modprobe the driver.
I originally had problems with the machine refusing to restore after a hibernate/suspend, but this was solved by a tip to rmmod the driver on hibernate/suspend and modprobe it on restore.The wireless will now work okay on some restores, but is more likely to repeat the behaviour described above for the failed cold boot.
Attached is a file with some snippets from dmesg around the time of the wireless failure, and the log of what it does after a remove and re-add for comparison of the "correct" messages.
Has anybody been successful in getting a N130 with a RTL8192E wireless chip to access the internet? I�ve tried practically every suggestion quoted on this message board �downloading drivers, from Samsung and Realtek which won�t open also linux versions with the same result, trying the Ubuntu compilation of Wine etc, etc. Am about to give up, which is a pity, because the Netbook version Ubuntu is very user friendly.
The card is recognized by Ubuntu 9.10 and I have it in the network manager. I followed one tutorial about creating an ad-hoc network and all looked good, until I actually wanted to connect (or to be more precise, my machine is a host for other computers). The wireless icon just loops endlessly, without connecting and eventually I get "Wireless network - disconnected" message.
So, the main issue here is - connecting! I just can't. Also if you know/have some good tutorial for ad-hoc,
Code: ivan@ivan-desktop:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"internat3"
I have Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bits) and a wireless usb adaptor Alfa Network AWUS036H with Chipset Realtek 8187L. After a few minutes connected, the adaptor disconnects and I can't reconnect again. I search this forum but I'm not sure about what to do. Do I need to get and install another driver? I need to use the windows driver?
Just installed Fedora 13 about an hour ago. I've googlled and googled but can't get my RTL8192E wireless card working in my netbook. I've had it working in ubuntu netbook remix via ndiswrapper but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper gui installed to attempt to install driver.
I have been having trouble with the install of Ubunto in general. First problem is that my realtek network drivers rtl8168 are giving me some problems. I have followed advice from other threads for disactivating the NIC and disconnecting the power for 10seconds. This works in that Ubunto can recognize the hardware (hardware active), but it says it is not in use. Furthermore, I try to define the IP address manually and it does not allow me to press apply. Therefore I cannot connect to the internet.
I though I would try a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu. I did not have the internet connected (due to drivers). After the partitioning section (I partitioned over Ubunto 9.10), on the screen where it says select Username, computer name etc. some files were loaded, and at the end it says �ready when you are�but I was not able to move forward. I don�t now why. Ultimately I reboot the computer Now I get this message upon booting (I am still booting from USB)
I'm new to Debian, and new to Linux at all (well, I have used Linux sometimes in the past; Red Hat 7.1, Knoppix 3.6, Ubuntu, and some other distros but by no meaning I could call myself a real, full-time Linux user). But that's what I want to change. After some research I've decided on Debian. At first I wanted to download a stable build (5.0.7) but I've seen 6.0 RC1 was released just recently and I've changed my decision to get this version instead. Anyway, I'm currently downloading the DVD (slow connection, 2Mb/s only) and I've spotted this page in the meantime.
Thing that got my attention is "Potential installation problems with RTL8169-based network cards". I've checked my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3) and I have Realtek 8111C on it. As far as I understand, it's not RTL8169-based but any real problems with my Realtek 8111C card, I don't want to install an OS from which I couldn't browse web. I know I had big issues with it while installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard but that's what I could expect when installing OS on unsupported hardware. So any way to install Debian 6.0 RC1 on a computer with Realtek 8111C network card?
Got a laptop with a RTL8187B wlan card, installed opensuse 11.2 on a 50gb partition. Card was detected straight away but only connects when I enter ip addresses manually, DHCP don't work.
When it is connected it always stays at a speed of 1mb/s and it cannot ping my router or anything else.
Me kernel is 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop
Searched around the forums but no love, tried compat-wireless but it started crying about dependencies. Modprobed it too..
I am having trouble getting a Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller to work on openSuSE 11.3. Most of the data for the problem is in this pastebin of the output of Framp's collectNWData.sh. I have also downloaded drivers for this card as detailed below.
Also, here is the more complete output of /usr/sbin/iwlist scan: Code: lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. pan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
I am not very experienced using Linux but I never had big problems with Ubuntu. Now I am busy writing my PhD thesis and therefore I had to install CentOS to use one lousy program that I could not get to work under Ubuntu. However, it seems to be quite fine and it is working well besides one fact: The network card stopped working. In the beginning it was working fine although the speed was only on the level of 100mbit. The switch and the LED on the card indicated gbit connection, though. I tried to install the driver for the 8168 card which reduced the card to 100mbit (indicated by the LED on the switch and the card).
Ethtool indicated it was gbit capable but I couldn't activate it. After reading more and more I figured I have to use the 8169 driver again and live with the 100mbit. Unfortunately, after uninstalling the old driver and reinstalling the driver 8169 the network isn't working at all anymore. The network-manager displays the card as inactive and when I try to turn it on it complains about the wrong mac address, which I am not able to change to the proper one. I am using CentOS 5.5 with the latest updates.
I am brand new to ubuntu (I installed it about 2 hours ago on my new PC). Everything so far has seemed really easy and straight-forward, but I am having problems trying to connect to my wireless network.
I have a Realtek 8185 wireless card, and have the disk with the inf file on it. I installed ndisgtk but when I pointed it to the inf file, I got an "error while installing" message, then it showed up in the list of currently installed drivers in ndisgtk but as an invalid driver. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong.
I actually have another wireless card in my old PC (a belkin of some sort) - would I be better off using that? I'm using an ethernet cable at the moment and it works absolutely fine, I just plugged it in and off I went.
I have a white label netbook with the Realtek RT8187SE Wireless card on PCIe. It is not detecting wireless networks consistently. When I am even 1 meter from the wireless router, I get no networks in range, but sometimes I pick up networks that are more than 20 meters from me. I can not connect, even if it is unsecure.
WiFi Radar does not detect the card. If I run a system check on the PCI bus I get the following: 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller (rev 22) Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
I've had this problem ever since I've installed this ethernet card in the PC (after the 'effin integrated one blew off for some reason), I wasn't ever able to make the networking work again. Every time I try to trigger the PPPoE connection (DSL), the PPP configurator keeps on looking for the concentrator, reaches over 100% and stayed like that for 1 hour. Here's the terminal log of everything that I've tried:
I have an ASUS M4A785-m and it has the Realtek 8112L gigabit nic. The weird thing is, the 10.10 rc saw the nic card just fine, and windows sees the card so it's not disabled in the bios.
Ubuntu says i have no network connections and i need to get internet. Any suggestions?
I should also note that i'm running from the livecd and lspci shows that it detects my NIC. but my NIC isn't "detected" in that it can be used.
I have tried ndiswrapper using 32 bit and 64 bit winxp drivers and the 32 bit driver just doesn't work period (as expected.) The 64 bit driver locked the system up completely and I ended up reinstalling ubunto. I have now reinstalled and updated and upgraded ubunto 10 times in the last 3 days of trying to get this to work and need some external!
using Code: lshw -C network
I do see my network card and driver.
Where I am at currently: I have a fresh install of ubunto 10.04 with it upgraded and updated. I do not have ndiswrapper gtk installed and I have not downloaded any drivers for the wireless card.

RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter this adapter shows up in network manager when connected to computer but doesn't detect network and cant connect to any network I have setup in nm, the adapter works fine in windows and it's supposed to work in linux or do I have to install drivers?

I recently installed ubuntu on my computer and when i put in my network wireless usb adapter (Realtek RTL8191SU) it isn't recognize, and the internet doesn't work. When I do lsusb, it comes up with Realtek Corperation however. And also the light on it doesn't flash either.
trying to get my little Encore USB wireless adapter to work on several flavors of Linux (Ubuntu 10,10, ElementOS, Xubuntu, and Puppy), I emailed tech support at Realtek. I asked where is the Linux driver for this product? I did this because there were no Linux drivers posted on their site and everyone here (and on Newegg) is jumping though hoops trying to get a working wireless connection with the Encore and similar dongles that use the RT8187b chipset. I didn't expect an answer, but felt better after my little vent. I get an email from Realtek with a driver. Realtek needs to promote Jerry -- a beacon of customer service in the age of the "get lost" school of customer relations. I have attached the driver below. Caveat: I have not yet compiled the driver, so I don't know much more about it than I've said already, although the archive appears to contain the source code.
After having installed ubuntu 11.04 my laptop's wireless device (realtek rtl8192se on a packard bell laptop) disappears on ubuntu 11.04. Before, with ubuntu 10.10, I had no problems. Now, when I start ubuntu 11.04, sometimes the wireless card work, but most of times it doesn't: the wireless led is off, and with the lspci command I got no line about wireless card. If I restart the laptop and I start win7, the wireless card doesn't work there too! only after many reboots and/or shutdowns wireless card appears again.
After compiling the Realtek drivers from their page (ver 8.024), installing the module, blacklisting r8169 and updating the initramfs, I still can't get the network card working.The card is listed in lshw as RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller.lsmod shows only r8168.dmesg keeps spitting once and again, every second or so the following:
Code: [ 1293.452274] r8168: eth0: link up [ 1294.449785] r8168: eth0: link down
