Took some time, but I figured out what needed to be done. Mind you, I don't know the short version of what needs to be actually done for this to work, but for reference here is what I did.
Laptop: Toshiba A505-S6980 OS: Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit Kernel 2.6.31-16 Wireless card included: Realtek 8191SE 1. Obtain the RTL8192SE Drivers (refer to post 15 of this thread) and extract the folder. 2. Either log in to the user "root" and open terminal or open terminal under user and enter root privileges by entering "sudo su". 3. Change directory to the downloaded folder. 4. Enter the commands for method 1 installation from the readme.txt file in the driver folder. 5. Follow the instructions for the method 2 installation from the readme.txt file in the driver folder. 6. Modify /etc/network/interfaces: "gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and add the following code: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 7. Modify /etc/modules: "gedit /etc/modules" and add the following code: r8192e_pci 8. Reboot When I ran method 1 first, nothing happened. When I tried method 2, after running "./wlan0up" with root privileges, the wireless adapter worked with no issue, except it would not work until the ./wlan0up command was entered. Finally, after completing steps 6 and 7 (did not try one then the other, did both) following all the prior steps, Network Manager was able to function normally with out error. Hope this helps others. -- Realtek RTL8192SE WLAN Card Fails to work on Medion Akoya E1312 Netbook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
