I'm not sure why you say that the rtl8187 driver doesn't work for your card. That seems to be the one that you should use.

Have you tried the version downloaded from here?:
Main Page - Realtek Linux wireless driver

It doesn't say that your kernel won't work, so you should try it. You may want to look for an older snapshot, so that it may compile on your system.

When compiling kernel modules, you need these installed first:

kernel source (same version as running kernel)
kernel headers (same version as running kernel)
gcc
make

**rowebil** · 08-17-2009

Okay, so you say I download a link on that site you have provided, I must make, then what?

I have had success on Linux Mint on installing a few things, with the make command and the package installer.

So, i go to directory, then type
make

then install or ./install or install.sh?

**waterhead** · 08-17-2009

Read the instructions page. It even tells you what programs are needed.

Installing - Realtek Linux wireless driver

There is still no guarantee that it will compile on your kernel. You usually need a kernel of at least 2.6.22.

**waterhead** · 08-18-2009

Hey, if you get stuck I will help you out. I am just using some "tough love" on you. Sometimes the best way to learn is by doing, and learning from the mistakes.

If you get errors, then post the first error that you get. I'll try to sort it out with you.

**waterhead** · 08-18-2009

There is one other thing that I wanted to mention. The information on your wireless card is this (and thank you for the info):

Code:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8185] (rev 20)

Take note of the numbers in the brackets, as this is the Device ID, or DEVID.

[10ec:8185]

I ran the modinfo command for the rtl8180 module, on my Ubuntu 9.04 install:

Code:

modinfo rtl8180

So it looks like it is suported in the newer kernels. You could boot the Ubuntu CD in live mode, and see if it works. No installation is necessary.
