I am completely new and have never even used terminal before, let alone try install a driver, so while I’ve read countless answers in response to the above problem, I don't even understand when I should press 'enter' in terminal.
My situation is I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C850- F0155 with no OS. Installed Ubuntu 12.04 from a CD. But only way to connect to net is through ethernet cable (i.e. no wireless option). The wireless card is a Realtek RTL8188CE. My Kernal is 3.2.0-52-generic.
I downloaded rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_linux_mac80211_0012.0207.2013(1).tar.bz2. I attempted to follow the instructions in the read me file, but i don't for the life of me understand them, nor any others in forums i've poured over.
If there is a kind soul who could help me with step by step (à la idiots guide) I would be deeply deeply greatful.
P.S. I have emailed Realtek with my query but was just sent the same read me file I couldn't understand to begin with.
lsmod
, but I seem unable to restart those (FATAL module not found). Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? (I tried with both the fedora-20 and ubuntu-13.10 branch)
