RTL8191SE no wireless conection

[ieva]

Hi,

I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out with installing driver for RTL8191SE network card. At the moment wireless conection on the PC does not work only wired network is operational.

I have the latest Ubuntu OS running.

Best,

Ieva

is it a network card or a USB one?

[Spyderkid]

download the driver on an other computer http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/realtek/realtek-rtl8191se-rtl8192se-wireless-drivers-utility.htm

scroll down to the third download option save it to a USB stick (prefrably) then report back when you've done that.

rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz saved on a USB stick.

Sorry about the long time i havent posted for
Next plug in the USB stick and right click on file, then click move to..., and select desktop.

Then issue these commands: (dont type in anything in brackets)

cd desktop (press enter)
sudo dpkg -i ftl8192se (hit tab key twice)

(then press enter after last command) (obviously)

then let it install

Hey Spyderkid thanks a lot,

I did what you said to do and here what i got back from my laptop Could there be something else i could do?

ieva@ieva-laptop:~$ cd desktop
bash: cd: desktop: No such file or directory
ieva@ieva-laptop:~$ cd Desktop
ieva@ieva-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz
dpkg-deb: `rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz' is not a debian format archive

i see the problem at the begining you said desktop it needs to be a capital D so you should type in Desktop instead then issue the command:
sudo dpkg -i ftl8192se (hit tab key twice)

soooooo...

cd Desktop (press enter)
sudo dpkg -i ftl8192se (hit tab key twice)

[Spyderkid]

sorry about that :S

sorry about confusion. The desktop issue i managed to get by, but what to do with the following lines saying that the file is not a debian format archive and wouldnt install.

ieva@ieva-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz
dpkg-deb: `rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz' is not a debian format archive
