I have not tested this as of yet. Try at your own risk. get http://drivers76.com/drivers/laptops/star1/rtl8187B_linux_26.1052.0225.2009.release.tar.gz tar -xzvf rtl8187B_linux_26.1052.0225.2009.release.tar.gz sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` cd rtl8187B_linux_26.1052.0225.2009.release make && sudo make install After reboot, check if wireless is working. If not you may need to blacklist rtl8187 (the new module is r8187 IIRC). echo blacklist rtl8187 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8187.conf -- realtek RTL8187B wireless card does not work reliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
