Says it is supported by ndiswrapper, you will need to blacklist r8192_pci so it doesn't clash

I think your wireless card is experiencing this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/508746

First install git-core using this command:

sudo apt-get install git-core

AFTER installing the git-core package, please try this workaround solution:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/508746/comments/2

Then reboot the pc and retest wireless.

If wireless is still not working after that procedure, the please follow these instructions to enable the lucid-proposed repository:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed

Then run the following commands to install the newest version of linux-firmware:

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install linux-firmware

Then please reboot and retest wireless....

Also make sure to also read the following solution:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/508746/comments/24

I quote:

    * Driver v14 from Realtek (1.6 MiB, application/x-tar)

I've read on this forum thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1239342&page=8 that Realtek sends by mail a driver compatible with 64bits to people who contact the support.

I mailed them today and Realtek (kidman) sends me the driver v14 which works on 64 bits (tested on kubuntu lucid). It facts, this is the same driver for 32 and 64 bits but older versions only work on 32 bits (prior to v13 I think as both v13 and v14 work on 64 bits).

On my Samsung R580 laptop, it disconnects often but it is usable. When it disconnects, sometimes, it can not reconnect automatically so I have to unload the module and reload it, then it works again for some time.

I've attached it.

Hope this help
"

So you will also need to compile and install the v14 Realtek driver (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/508746/+attachment/1326241/+files/rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0014.0401.2010.tar.gz) , as it is certified to work with 32-bit AND 64-bit editions of Ubuntu, while older Realtek driver versions are not.

Can you help with this problem?
