Public bug reported: I'm on 12.10. 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. Pasting the full output of the wireless troubleshooting procedure command below. *-network UNCLAIMED description: Network controller product: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 version: 01 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list configuration: latency=0 resources: ioport:3000(size=256) memory:c0500000-c0503fff *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 07 serial: 50:af:73:20:54:c6 size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full firmware=rtl8168e-3_0.0.4 03/27/12 ip=192.168.11.47 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=100Mbit/s resources: irq:42 ioport:2000(size=256) memory:c0404000-c0404fff memory:c0400000-c0403fff eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. lo Interface doesn't support scanning. # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.10" 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
