If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. I'm not terribly computer-saavy, and am having trouble finding the correct driver and getting it to work. Actually, I'm starting to doubt I even I have wireless card at all!

Hi K. Veenstra,

Would mind to give us the output of this command line?
lspci -vvvnn | grep Network

You have to type or copy that command line into terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal). It will help us to know the chipset of your network card.

Please also send us the output of this command (without the dmesg command in it):

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; sudo lsmod; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Sorry, I wasn't completely sure where the dmesg command ended, so I hope this is what you are looking for:

I recommend installing Ubuntu 10.04 from a LiveCD session.

Then try my suggestions at the end of the following thread:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/126119

I recommend AVOIDING ndiswrapper or Windows drivers.

Try compiling and installing the following Realtek driver instead:

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately (since I am having issues with my wired connection) I cannot currently install a more recent version of Ubuntu. Do you think it would be worth it to compile and install the Realtek driver with my current version of Ubuntu (9.10)? If so, could you please link me to a guide on how to compile and install drivers? I have not had very much luck with doing that myself in the past. Thanks.

I do not think that there is any point in trying to get the driver to work in Ubuntu 9.10

I suggest using the rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0014.0401.2010.tar.gz driver package in Ubuntu 10.10, once Ubuntu 10.10 is released.

Ubuntu 10.10 final is scheduled to be released on October 10 (5 days from now)

You should first sort out the issues with your wired internet connection, before trying to get your wireless working....

You can try the following installation procedure:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457592&page=7

It is better to use

sudo make

and then

sudo make install

in the directory where you extracted the contents of the rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0014.0401.2010.tar.gz file.

Here is more info on compiling in Ubuntu:

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.
