Here are the screenshots:

1) I selected the 64bit Windows driver I placed in a Drivers folder in Home folder.

2) I installed the driver and Ultimate Edition says the Hardware is present:

The dropdown from Network Connections shows no networks present. In 32bit systems it would show the two networks I have available. I could not get a screenshot of that.

3) Firefox does not go online:

I am NOT online.

Thank you, tammerlane.

I have a Realtek 8192su usb wireless receiver. I will update after I boot into Ultimate Edition again. BTW I don't think I can apt-get install anything - since I can't get online. Thanx. tammerlane.

1) apt-get install is UNAVAILABLE since I cam't get online yet.
2) If I'm going to install a Linux driver shouldn't I uninstall the Windows driver.

Thanx. tammerlane.

tammerlane,

Let's start to work here - I have download the package for your here:

RTL8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100625.zip
Driver
(1.95 MiB) Downloaded 648 times


Step 2 :

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install unzip


Code: Select all
unzip rtl8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226.zip


Code: Select all
cd rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226/driver

Code: Select all
tar -xvzf rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226.tar.gz


Code: Select all
cd rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226


Step 3 :
cd include

gedit osdep_service.h

add "#include <linux/sched.h>" to the file "osdep_service.h"

the result looks like this :

#ifndef __OSDEP_SERVICE_H_
#define __OSDEP_SERVICE_H_

#include <drv_conf.h>
#include <basic_types.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
//#include <rtl871x_byteorder.h>
......


Step 4 :

Code: Select all
cd ..


Code: Select all
gedit Makefile


add "nullstring :=" under "export TOPDIR := $(PWD)"

locate "ifeq ($(CONFIG_BUILT_IN), y)" and make changes to this ifeq block. The result looks like this :

ifeq ($(CONFIG_BUILT_IN), y)
include $(src)/config
else
ifeq ($(TOPDIR), $(nullstring))
include config
else
include $(TOPDIR)/config
endif
endif

The result of the first 19 lines is as the following :

EXTRA_CFLAGS += -O1 -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-value -Wno-unused-label -W$
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I$(src)/include -Wno-unused -Wno-unused-function

CONFIG_BUILT_IN = n

export TOPDIR := $(PWD)
nullstring :=

ifeq ($(CONFIG_BUILT_IN), y)
include $(src)/config
else
ifeq ($(TOPDIR), $(nullstring))
include config
else
include $(TOPDIR)/config
endif
endif

ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTL8711), y)


Step 5 :

Code: Select all
make clean

Code: Select all
make

Code: Select all
sudo make install


Step 6 :
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe 8712u

Code: Select all
echo "8712u" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules


The dongle will work now. Be keep in mind that when the Kernel is updated, you may require to re-compile the driver at Step 5.

This did not work. I downloaded the tar.gz file you linked. I unzipped it in Windows since I can't apt-get install anything without an Internet connection. Everything else seemed to go alright until I got to Step 6 "sudo modprobe 8712u". The terminal showed this message "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release."

At that point my computer froze and the lights on my keyboard commenced to flashing and I had to do a restart.Thanx. tammerlane.


EDIT:
Well, I decided to go with 32bitUE instead of 64 bit. As I said before, either Ubuntu's 64bit code prevented the wireless from working or Realtek's drivers were not right. I appreciate you efforts. You really know your stuff, but I can't expect you to fix someone else's code. And I know that I'm going to enjoy 32bit Ultimate Edition. You worked hard to get my wireless working. Thank you. tammerlane.

Hello, I have read many similar problems that I am having but I think mine is still different.

I upgraded from UltimateEdition 2.5 on which my networking adapters all worked fine, I even have a USB Linksys WUSB54G that always worked on linux out of the box. I booted the Live DVD of Ultimate edition 2.7 and all worked fine as far as networking is concerned. I now have Ultimate edition 2.7 installed and I can't get one device to connect in 10.04 (2.7) Ethernet nor wireless. I'd be happy if I could at least get Ethernet. I have a Dell 1501 and here is my NIC
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)

Simply nothing happens, I ran - ifconfig -a - I only see the "lo" and "pan" interfaces.

Also, I tried and have installed now Ultimate Edition 2.8 Alpha 2 and still the same problem.

What do you think? Thanks for any help and the Great OS in anycase.

Hello aviduser & welcome to the U.E Forum. <BREW>

If you have just go back here in this Network issues back 2-3 pages then you can see that it works.
please look on the test that I have made for our users on the site,
And you can see that the wired is working with Broadcom.

Good Luck.

Thank you for the Welcome and helpful reference. While I read the install instructions I read there is an in-kernel module already in each kernel. So I opened a terminal and typed: sudo modprobe b44
That loaded it and automatically the connection ways made. I updated the kernel and had to type it again, it isn't such a problem to have to modprobe after each kernel update. It is strange why the module isn't simply auto loaded in the first place.

Well thanks again for the help.

aviduser good work.

about the way not?
well this is something that Ubuntu has to take care of.
This is there DEV package ,This is there Repo , This is there issue that stay for long time in bug fix.
This is not the U.E package/script that need to be fix.
The U.E Base is Ubuntu ,
and we do the best that we can to fix issues with the Ubuntu packages and scripts.

Hello newmusic .

well now , way this is the better option for you?
From my point of View the best option will be to have your Network auto connected with out terminal.
The best way will be to have auto connection when your machine will BOOT on.
If you configure right your connection with auto wired/wireless ... in the connection option top icon,
And you have marked the 2 options to connect auto + for everyone,
Then you do not need to use the terminal on every startup of your machine ;)
