UNCLAIMED Wireless Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8176] (rev 01) - no wireless driver installed on TOSHIBA NB505 in Ubuntu 10.10
Windows 7 came with this netbook. It connects wi-fi to my router. Linux doesn't recognise a wi-fi network. Any help would be appreciated; I can't go back to Windows. Thanks in advance.

Please first connect your wired network adapter to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).
In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:
Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications-
Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https:/
Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

After installing Ubuntu 10.10 to the harddisk (instead of using a LiveCD session) and then rebooting into the installed version of Ubuntu, try using a driver from a personal package archive:
(info obtained from http://
Copy-paste the following commands into the Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/
sudo apt-get update

Well, I thought this one would work. I i*nstalled *Ubuntu and copy/pasted
the text from the link provided. Rebooted, but still nothing. I'm thinking
there's somewhere in the process where I have to add a repository...don't
know for sure?
Thanks for all your help so far; I'm sure I'll get it, or I'll have to wait
for 11.04 for drivers.

Please try High Horse's procedure as described here:

I tried High Horse's procedure step by step. Didn't know if I should unpack the .tar in the usb drive or the home folder, so I tried both. Made a file for both...tried the terminal, and finally installed the driver. The network doesn't show the new configuration, so I'm stumped for now. I retried the procedure in terminal, and all I got was a huge white screen with huge letters of entered command? (I'm relatively new with the command line).

OK. Thank you all! I finally gave Canucked's method a try,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8192ce-dkms
It worked! No more Windows...
