The wifi adapter doesn't seem to be recognized at all: doesn't show up in NetworkManager, no adapter listed by iwconfig. The wifi card seems to be a RTL8188E (lspci -nn tells me it's 10ec:8179). I've tried to: - install the Realtek driver for the RTL8188CE (seemed close enough...) - install the driver from https://github.com/tianon/linux-rtlwifi-8188ce - install linux-backports-modules-cw - upgrade to kernel 3.7 None of those worked. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: cat 1782 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
