For your particular wifi device, you may need to upgrade your kernel. The version in the Wheezy/testing repos should be enough. You may also need the firmware-realtek package from Wheezy/testing. Then just try the instructions for Wheezy (from the same link I posted). The driver you need is rtl8192ce.

Still isn't working.  I appreciate your help, but I need to get work done on this box.  I'll have to install another distro.

I've read 6 or 7 similar threads here, none of which helped, other than showing me this is a problem which needs to be fixed.  There should be a script that handles this issue.  I might even write one, if you can help me get my wifi running. smile  Worked fine under Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04. roll Details follow.

I've had #! installed for 24 hours now, without wifi.  Simply not acceptable.  If someone can show me the way to fix this, perhaps I can script the fix for others having similar issues.  Thanks !!

Greetings.

Used #! before, I really like it.  I usually end up going back to Ubuntu, though, because I prefer to spend more time working than dicking around with the OS. Ubu 11.04 is so full of bugs and bloated with crapware, that I'm giving #! another go.

Now if only I can get the damn wifi working. Again. But that is for another thread. smile

Peace.
