Wifi Adapter - tukkie - 05-26-2016

Hi,

On Linux Lite 3.0 beta, I can't get connected to the internet with my wifi adapter.

My adapter is a Realtek RTL8191SU.

Is there a solution for this adapter?

Re: Wifi Adapter - firenice03 - 05-26-2016

Try checking - Menu / Install Drivers then under the Additional Tab see if there are any drivers listed for your device..

Also check that your radio is not turned off/blocked..
Running the below in the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) will diplay WiFi and Bluetooth and if they are off (blocked)..
Code:
rfkill list

If no drivers or radios are on.. may want to give the output of the following command.
Code:
inxi -Fxz

There are no drivers installed.

Output of inxi -Fxz is:

Use systemback to make a backup prior - this way if it doesn't yield the results you can revert back easily..



Re: Wifi Adapter - Wirezfree - 05-26-2016

Hi,

I had some notes from when I did an install for a friend.
Now that was 2.8 with kernel 3.16, and he had a DLink(I think) WiFi device with the RTL8191SU.
Now the the kernel is 3.19 on LL 3.0
I found these instructions, and they worked on that device.

But first, create backup with systemback(firenice03 Wink )

Then open terminal, ctrl+alt+t then enter each line, 1 by 1
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
Then re-boot


Re: Wifi Adapter - tukkie - 05-27-2016

Hi,

My problem is solved.

I installed ndiswrapper. Then I installed the windows driver from Realtek. That did not work.

Then I downloaded the windows driver from the manufactory site, and installed that driver.

And that driver worked.

Thanks for your support.
