hello everyone! after grappling with this problem myself. ok first of all you need to use the realtek driver as david woo suggested. manual or automatic install is your choice. try automatic. much quicker i guess. then you might come across the situation where the GUI will still not show the list of wireless networks nearby. go to terminal and then:
ifconfig wlan0 up should do the trick. otherwise, from the folder where you extracted the drivers, ./wlan0 up where i got this from? - the driver readme! check it out and its quite helpful and straightforward! -- Realtek RTL8192SE WLAN Card Fails to work on Medion Akoya E1312 Netbook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
