http://ubuntuforums.org – Just got a new compaq presario cq57. I've been trying all day to get the wireless working. So far i've come up with pretty much no results. i've gotten ndiswrapper and the driver for my card, and it recognizes the hardware, but the wireless card is still coming up unclaimed. I've been reading every post and how-to guide i've come across, but they haven't gotten me anywhere. I know that the wireless card works, I was using it yesterday when I had windows installed.

I am running on Mac OS X, 10.8.2, Virtual Box. I have installed the guest addition and also the extension pack for USB.

I have already installed the linux driver for Realtek RTL8192CU, because that's the chip it uses.

When i run the lsusb command it recognizes it as Realtek.

I know that it is connected.

Hello. I've read a lot about wireless network cards but I haven't found something similiar to my problem. I've a belkin wireless card F5D7000tt and its driver bcmwl5.inf. I think I've correctly installed it because when I use "ndiswrapper -l" i get: WARNING: all config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future realease.

Hello,

Since I upgraded ubuntu to 12.04 and now 12.10 I'm having wireless problems from low speeds to random disconnects. I simply can't use wireless at all since it is really "twitchy". My laptop is a SAMSUNG R580 with a realtek 8192se 802.11 b/g/n wireless PCI card.

lspci -nn | grep 'Wireless'

I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ62, and I believe my wireless card is Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11 b/g/n Wifi

My current issue is that it drops connection all the time and has a hard time connecting at all in some areas. Windows works perfectly for wireless.

anyone have any idea why?

Hi all!

I'm having a tough time installing my wireless network card on Ubuntu. I have been following this how-to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...er/Ndiswrapper

I have installed ndiswrapper and ndisgtk.

I have a Sony Vaio with an intel Pro/wireless 2200BG (calexico2) card that is broken. In windows I disabled this card and installed a USB wireless device (Realtek 802.11n WLAN adapter) which makes wireless connection possible. I cannot get a wireless connection in LUBUNTU because the computer keeps on trying to connect through the original (broken) hardware.

I have Slackware(x32) 13.1 installed on my computer. Everything runs just fine except it doesn't seem my wireless card. I looked around and found a driver on the Realtek website. But, after I installed it, linux wouldn't boot. It would just hang.
