Can't get my wifi to work on Asus Eee PC 1015PEM netbook with installed Ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition

   Hello All,

    I just purchase a new Asus Eee PC 1015PEM netbook and installed Ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition. I have search google and I'm glad that I'm not the only one having problems with there WIFI and this brand of netbook.

    Some of the steps I have taken so far are...

   "go to realtek's website for driver support (download section)
-Choose "communications network ICs>wireless lan ICs>WLAN NIC> then choose b/g/n single chip> software > now choose "RTL8192SE"
-(For simplicity just download it to "Downloads" folder)
-go to the folder, click "Extract Here" (I renamed the extracted folder as "RTL8192""
-Open up the application "terminal"

type the following in terminal:
sudo su
cd Downloads |note that the letter the folder begins w/ a capital D|
cd RTL8192SE
make
make install
reboot gk (this will reboot the computer)

then press Fn + F2 and watch for the wifi light to light up. All done ^^ ""

   One thing to note FN+F2 doesn't seem to do anything. My WIFI is on, but it's not being pick up by ubuntu.

   I have also tried the method posted by Rick "Try installing the compat-wireless Linux modules (backported versions) using these 2 commands:" still can't get the wifi to work.

    Here is a copy of my terminal log

 * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

       One more thing to mention. Under hardware driver I have Broadcom STA wireless drivers listed and installed. At the bottom of the screen the window states "The driver is currently active, but not in use."

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
