I've been scouring the internet and have viewed a couple different posts on this site and have done everything and anything I can to get this network adapter to work. When I click on the wireless, it says "no network devices detected". I ran the lsusb
command and the two that m going to assume are the network adapter come back with:
bus 001 device 004: ID 0bda:b001 realtek semiconductor corp.
bus 001 device 005: ID 0bda:0177 realtek semiconductor corp.
There is absolutely no way i can plug this in via cat-5 line since there is no port on this netbook in trying to install ubuntu onto.
When I run lspci | grep -i wireless
, it just goes down one line and I receive nothing else there.

(there are quite a few things here but the Realtek network controller says this):

I don't know what other information you would need but as I said I can't hook it up via an ethernet cable since there is no port on the netbook for one. I need to be able to get the files i need and put them onto an sd card and transfer them to the netbook to install them that way.
