Run the command

lspci

on a terminal and note (or copy/paste) the wireless information.

Here is mine as an example:

larsantos@NB520:~$ lspci

09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05)
larsantos@NB520:~$

Mine wireless adapter worked well out-of-the-box so I can't help much more.

Edited because of typos.

Hi PW!

to find out your what chipset your card is , in terminal run :

lspci | grep Network
and
sudo lshw -C Network

the last command should show your which drive is loaded and in use , look a the " configuration line: .. "
and also look if a firmware is present .

dura · 2012-11-17 23:43:44

It is not the recommended way of doing this, but you may want to try Waldorf instead, on a live usb. Waldorf may just work. It is still in testing (and hence the stable is the main #! offering). In my experience Waldorf is more stable than ubuntu or Mint.

Otherwise you may have to update your kernel anyway.

If you want to give it a try, follow this:

http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/statler … stallation

Edit: Sometimes it's just something more simple:

Perhaps try this first:

sudo rfkill unblock all

command rfkill not found did you mean fkill?

Your driver should work with either Waldorf or Statler plus BPO, you'll have to fiddle with Realtek's binary drivers on the regular Statler. Install Statler + BPO or Waldorf, and install the package firmware-realtek.

Alright , so yours is " Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) "

" RTL8188CE " which needs the " rtl8192ce " driver

http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#supported-rtl8192ce

and a Non-free firmware is required , so follow step 1-2 here
http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#Drivers

Larsantos · 2012-11-18 00:08:43

The problem may be the kernel version, since the driver for the RTL8188CE wireless card was introduced only in the kernel 2.6.38-2 if I'm not mistaken.

running

uname -a

on a terminal will tell you your kernel version.

benginm · 2012-11-18 00:14:00

# it's also in Debian 3.2.0 (3.2.32-1) kernel images .

I'm glad it's fixed, can you please add the word _solved_ to the title of the topics you start after solved?

Regarding links there are just too many to post them here, use the search feature on the forums and google everything you need to know, remember that #! is based on Debian, so, much of the solutions for it should work; also check this post by corenominal.

Being waldorf still in the development cycle and being a different version, may I suggest posting your question an this sub-forum?

[edit] if it was already marked solved, my apologies, didn't saw it. [/edit]
